As the diplomat noted, the director of the National Museum of Resistance and Human Rights in the city of Esch-sur-Alzette behaved outrageously: first he invited the Russian ambassador to take part in the commemorative events, and then withdrew the invitation, citing that it was sent “by mistake.” .
“It turns out that the ambassador of the country whose army liberated this concentration camp in January 1945, saving the lives of the prisoners who remained in it, was “mistakenly” invited to the ceremony dedicated to the liberation of Auschwitz,” Lobanov told TASS.
