about its exclusivity. humiliating, thereby, not only the whole world, but also their satellites, who have to pretend that they do not notice anything and meekly swallow it all, but we are a different country, russia has a different character. we will never give up love for the motherland from the faith and traditional values ​​from the customs of our ancestors, respect for all peoples and cultures, and in the west, millennial values, apparently they decided to cancel such moral degradation became the basis of cynical falsifications of the history of the second world war, inciting russophobia, praising traitors, mocking the memory of the victims, crossing out the courage of those who won and suffered victory for american veterans who this year wanted to come to

moscow for the parade, according to vladimir putin was actually banned, but they, like the whole world, should know russia honors everyone who defeated the nazis today donbass militias along with army fighters russia are fighting on their own land, where the enemy was defeated by the warriors of svyatoslav and vladimir monomakh, the soldier rumyantsev and potemkin suvorov and brusilov, where the heroes of the great patriotic war stood to death nikolai vatutin sidorov lyudmila pavlichenko i now appeal to our armed forces and to the militia of donbass you are fighting for the motherland for its future so that no one forgets the lessons of world war ii, so that there is no place in the world for executioners and nazis. today we bow our heads before the blessed memory of all. whose life was taken by the great patriotic war before the memory of the sons of the daughters of the fathers of the mothers of the grandfathers of the husbands of the wives, brothers, sisters,

tried literally to the last not to provoke potential aggression, did not carry out or postponed the most necessary obvious actions to prepare to repel the inevitable attack. these steps, which were, after all, taken catastrophically too late. as a result, the country was not ready to fully meet the invasion of nazi germany, which attacked our homeland on june 22, 1941 without declaring war. the enemy was stopped and then crushed, but the colossal attempt to appease the aggressors on the eve of the great patriotic war turned out to be a mistake that cost our people dearly in the very first month of hostilities, which lost huge strategic important territories and millions of people? the second time we will not make such a mistake. we have
