On May 9, the Russian army will march through Red Square in Moscow, the "achievements" of which include the execution of civilians, mass graves, rape, looting, the detention of civilian hostages, torture and execution of prisoners of war, the use of indiscriminate weapons, and strikes on densely populated residential areas, energy, and civilian infrastructure.
This is stated in a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
"It is this army that will march on May 9 on Red Square in Moscow. These people are not the liberators of Europe, they are occupiers and war criminals. Marching side by side with them is sharing responsibility for the blood of murdered Ukrainian children, civilians and soldiers, and not celebrating the victory over Nazism. Russia invites foreign military personnel to participate in the May 9 parade in order to whitewash its war crimes and justify aggression," the statement said.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that the participation of foreign military personnel in this action is unacceptable and will be regarded by Ukraine as an affront to the memory of the victory over Nazism, the memory of millions of Ukrainian front-line soldiers who liberated our country and all of Europe from Nazism eight decades ago.
"We call on all foreign states to refrain from the participation of their military personnel in the parade in Moscow on May 9. This especially applies to countries that declare neutrality in relation to Russian aggression against Ukraine or consistently take a neutral position in international relations. The participation of the military of such countries in a joint parade will directly violate such declared neutrality and will appear as support for the aggressor state," the statement concluded.
It was previously reported that by May 9, Russia plans to hold a number of information and propaganda events in Europe and the United States, including "Immortal Regiment" motorcycle rides.
