Vladimir Putin once again congratulated the heads of the foreign delegations, the honored guests on Victory Day and proposed a toast to the glorious generation of victors, the triumph of truth and justice, and the prosperity of countries and peoples.
“We know how vitally important solidarity and support were for the fighting people of the Soviet Union – the support from allies, friends, and comrades in arms.
We will forever remain grateful to all our friends and comrades. I consider it important that today we are celebrating the anniversary of the Great Victory together, remembering those who gave all their strength for the freedom of their native country and the whole world, sacrificed themselves in the name of saving humanity,” Putin said.
According to him, time is increasingly separating us from the events of World War II.
