The veteran kissed Zelenskiy’s hand and told him ‘you’re the saviour of the people’, to which the Ukrainian president replied ‘you saved Europe’. The anniversary of the turning point in the second world war took place while the war rages on between Ukraine and Russia, as well as in the same year as the European parliament elections and the US presidential election in November

  1. Can be so cynical and nihilistic to mock this touching meeting? How would you feel if Putin blitzkriged your nation. WE WERE heroes. Zelenskyy is a hero. Putin is an evil warlord. It’s not hard to understand. But there are those among us egging on WW3. DON’T BE FOOLED. VOTE BLUE.

  2. At the Tehran Conference in 1943, Stalin sent Roosevelt and Churchill each a case of Soviet champagne. In 1944, the Allies decided to open a Second Front.

  3. Вообще-то, Зеленский не празднует День Победы над фашизмом. Он запрещает украинцам его праздновать.
    Так что он делает в Нормандии?

  4. Ja, Zeli brachte Hunderttausende seine christliche Landsleute um, weil es könnte einfach Frieden sein. 
    Seine Bruder in der Glaube spucken Christen an. 
    1968 wehrte sich Tschechien gegen Russland nicht und war noch 20 Jahre Ruhe von Konsum und Amerikanisierung.
    Gott beschützt uns von Amerika.
