Putin:

Putin: “In the West they would like to forget the lessons of the Second World War, but we remember that the fate of humanity was decided in grandiose battles near Moscow and Leningrad, Rzhev, Stalingrad, Kursk and Kharkov, near Minsk, Smolensk and Kiev. In heavy bloody battles from Murmansk to The Caucasus and Crimea. The first long, difficult years of the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet Union and all the republics of the former Soviet Union fought the Nazis almost one on one, while это almost all of Europe worked for the military power of the Wehrmacht.“ Source: Victor vicktop55
