Kabul: On the occasion of the 78th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Army in World War II, the Russian Embassy in Kabul, in a statement, appreciated the efforts and sacrifices of the Russian forces for four years to open a new era for modern day Russia.
Fascist invaders attacked the territory of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, using all the economic capacities of Europe at that time. And with the efforts of people all over this country, on the fronts and behind the fronts, people of different ages and ethnicities and cultures saved their country. This has actually become a memory of solidarity and loyalty to the homeland.
The people of the Soviet Union played a decisive role in the defeat of Nazism during WW2 and despite initial victory in the battle moved ahead to liberate other nations from the yoke of fascism. And thus the battlefield winners have paid the price of freedom and independence of their country by bearing millions of victims.
Our duty is to defend the historical truth about the heroism and valor of the people who saved the world from slavery and destruction, rejecting all attempts to invalidate and distort the events of history.
And today, following the example of the generation of battlefield winners, we must be grateful for their honors, protect and defend the borders of our homeland, and must use all our strength to ensure the security and prosperity of Russia.
