“There is an attempt by bureaucrats sitting in the administration to correct President Trump. In his latest statements and in his telephone conversation with President Putin, the role of the USSR was recognized, and recognized respectfully, without ambiguous interpretations. Such an interpretation, where there is no Soviet Union, is a certain element of the internal struggle between supporters and opponents of the rapprochement between the USA and modern Russia, ”Kosachev explained.
According to him, such a position can also be an instrument of US foreign policy.
“The topic of interpretations of military history can be a serious factor in unification. In addition to the internal struggle, this is an attempt to reassure the most anti-Russian American allies in Europe, ”the senator added.
At the same time, he recalled that many citizens of the United States and Europe remember the feat of Soviet soldiers.
“For us, the interpretation of history has no alternative, and we are sincerely grateful to those in Europe and the United States who find the courage to accept this,” concluded Kosachev.
Earlier, the White House stated in its official Instagram account that the United States and Great Britain had won over Nazism, but did not mention the contribution of the Soviet Union to the victory.
Commenting on RT this statement, State Duma deputy Ruslan Balbek noted that it is important to respond to the non-recognition of the victory of the Soviet army over Nazi Germany.
