Journalist Bose pointed out Trump's mistake in saying he won World War II

Irish journalist Chay Bose pointed out to US President Donald Trump an error in his words about the victory in World War II. He wrote the social network X (former Twitter) on January 23.

"President Donald Trump stated, 'Russia helped us defeat the Nazis.' In fact, it's quite the opposite," - stated in the message.

According to him, the USSR destroyed 80% of Germany's military power, while the US provided the Soviet Union with only 10% of the necessary equipment as part of lend-lease, which was soon returned.

Bose added that the USSR's contribution to the defeat of the Nazis consisted not only in the number of soldiers and lives, but also in the indomitable spirit of the people.
