Eighty years ago, millions of Ukrainians fought for Nazism to lose forever. But today, Ukrainians are again opposing the evil that has been reborn, has come again, and wants to destroy us again. An army of monsters who kill, torture, and wipe out peaceful cities and villages from the face of the earth. Evil, the name of which is Russian fascism. Abbreviated as the Russian Federation.
On the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism, remembering millions of Ukrainians who, together with other peoples, fought and won, we believe and bring a new day of a new victory closer, when the expulsion of the Nazis from Ukraine.
It's impossible to deny that Russia has its own versions of Nazi ideology. The way to stop Nazism remains the same. Only joint efforts can be effective.
Russia puts every country that doesn’t submit to its terror on its "list."
As long as Russia exists in its current form, no country is safe unless it is a pawn or accomplice of a terrorist state. Part 1.
