Lukashenko: preserving the truth about the war is paramount issue of modern times
Preserving the truth about the Great Patriotic War is the most important point of modern days – as stated by the President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, at today’s performance-concert in St. Petersburg dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the Nazi siege, BelTA reports
"This truth demonstrates the depth of the moral and spiritual downfall of those who joined the banner of Nazi Germany. It drops like a black shadow on many Western European countries, and this is our truth. Actually, we are not talking about enmity towards their peoples. We, the heirs of the victors, oppose the ideology of Nazism, which Germans, French and many other nations suffered from. We also raise the issue of recognising the genocide of the Soviet people," the Belarusian leader noted.
Aleksandr Lukashenko stated that the exact number of victims of the Great Patriotic War is yet unknown. Both in Belarus and in Russia, the remains of murdered mothers and babies near their breasts – buried alive – are still being unearthed.
"The numbers of such cases are endless, they are terrifying," the President said.
