Congratulations to Shoigu are given in the message of the Ministry of Defense in Telegram.
“Comrade soldiers and sailors, sergeants and foremen, warrant officers and midshipmen, officers!
Dear veterans!
77 years separate us from May 9, 1945 - a significant day that changed the fate of the whole world!
For us, for all friendly and fraternal countries, this holiday personifies the unshakable feat of the people who defeated the Nazi invaders and liberated humanity from Nazism,” Shoigu said.
He noted that today Russian soldiers and officers are fighting the followers of Nazism and reliably defending Russia's national interests during a special operation in Ukraine.
Earlier, the Russian ISS crew consisting of Oleg Artemiev, Denis Matveev and Sergei Korsakov congratulated compatriots on Victory Day.
