Ukrainian journalist suggested that Macron should remember the army that liberated Auschwitz

Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko on January 28 suggested that French President Emmanuel Macron should remember whose army liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau (Auschwitz) concentration camp.

The French leader published a post on social network X (formerly Twitter) earlier in the day to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the largest concentration camp.

"You just forgot to mention whose troops liberated the prisoners of Auschwitz," Panchenko wrote on the same social network in response to Macron's post.

Shame and fear: the West does not want to see its politicians celebrating the victory over Nazism

Recognizing Russia as the winner hurts

The day before, on January 27, the day of the liberation of the concentration camp and the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Russian President Vladimir Putin called to always remember that it was Soviet soldiers who liberated Auschwitz and revealed the truth about the crimes of the Nazis. In addition, on January 21, he pointed to the inadmissibility of the ideologies of fascism, Nazism and militarism "raising their heads again."

On January 26, Russian diplomats laid flowers at memorials to concentration camp victims in Poland. On January 23, Rabbi Alexander Boroda said at a press conference at the Izvestia IEC that Jews in the Russian Federation feel badly that the country's representatives were not invited to Poland to participate in the commemorative events.

Every year on January 27, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day is celebrated around the world. On this day in 1945, the Red Army liberated the largest Nazi death camp Auschwitz (German: Auschwitz).
