Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said that Western leaders are wrong in refusing to participate in the Victory Day Parade to be held on May 9 in Moscow.
“I do not support those politicians who refuse to come to the celebration in Moscow on purpose, although they did seem to want to come earlier.”
He did note, however, that cancellation is possible in the event that there are similar celebrations in their home countries.
“It is another thing if they are busy at home. If they have similar celebrations at home, we will welcome it, we will be glad that together with us the Victory Day is celebrated in other countries,” the Belarusian president said. “If it (the refusal to come to Moscow) is an insult against Russia, against those Soviet people and the people of Eastern Europe, who we freed, then such an approach is against those people too and not just Russians who are allegedly fighting in Donbass.” “The refusal to show up is the wrong approach,” the Belarusian leader concluded.
An Anonymous commentator said, “The animosity toward Russia right now is so strong that US leaders would prefer to not have anyone know that Russia was an ally against the nazis in WW II.
Also, since the Ukrainian government has nazi sympathizers, they don’t want that mentioned or someone might ask “Why did we fight them then and we’re allied with them now?”.
