On May 8, Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated the leaders and citizens of foreign countries on the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The Head of State noted that this day is a day of gratitude to the fathers and grandfathers who fought together on the fields of the Second World War, bringing the long-awaited victory over Nazism closer. The Russian leader also conveyed words of gratitude and congratulations to veterans and home front workers who live in foreign countries.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on the same day that Western countries do not so sacredly honor the results of the Second World War, which laid the foundation for the long-term development of the world. Lavrov added that Nazism, defeated in those years, "raises its head" and tries to rewrite history. As an example, he cited European countries, some of whose politicians are calling for "repeating the experience" of Adolf Hitler and attacking the Russian Federation.
