Pushkov linked Callas' call not to participate in the Victory Day parade with the justification of the Nazis

The representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs, Kaya Kallas, threatening world leaders who are going to take part in the Victory Day Parade in Moscow, stands in line with those who justify the glorification of Nazi collaborators in Ukraine. This was announced on April 16 by Alexey Pushkov, head of the Federation Council Commission on Information Policy.

"The representatives, in fact, justify the glorification of Nazi collaborators in Ukraine and actively support the Kiev regime, which is engaged in this. The picture is clear. They definitely have nothing to celebrate. It was not their victory," Pushkov wrote on his Telegram channel.

On April 14, Callas warned European officials that if they visited Russia to participate in Victory celebrations, they would face "consequences."

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, in turn, called her statement harsh and incorrect, and also noted that such threats should be assessed by those states to which they are addressed.
