The State Duma appreciated the words of Zelensky about the perpetrators at the beginning of World War II

Novikov called such a position "offensive and arousing categorical hostility in any normal person."

“It is very sad that Zelensky, who is the president of Ukraine, who herself was seriously affected by the Nazi invasion, is trying to promote public opinion things that have nothing (in common. - RT ) with real history, with real facts,” the parliamentarian emphasized.

According to the deputy, this is "elementary human meanness" in relation to the past and to the generations that perished, "protecting our common homeland."

Zelensky said earlier that "conspiracy of totalitarian regimes" led to the outbreak of World War II and the Holocaust.

Spokesman for the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov noted that Moscow strongly disagrees with Zelensky’s statements about the USSR’s “guilt” at the beginning of World War II.

According to him, this position is offensive to tens of millions of citizens of the CIS countries, whose relatives gave their lives for the liberation of Europe from fascism.
