Poroshenko: Ukrainians crushed Hitler in Africa, UPA was the second front
Russia is creating an image of Ukraine as a fascist state to justify aggression against the former Soviet republic, President Petro Poroshenko said in a May 9 address.
Interestingly, over the past two days, Poroshenko has already mentioned Vladimir Putin’s words about Russia’s ability to win the war alone for at least the third time.

“Even more cynicism, by the way, is to create an image for our country like a fascist state. It is clear that this is being done for only one purpose – to justify and justify their crime in the eyes of their own, Russian people, namely, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
And, returning to the years of World War II, it should be noted that with the obvious leading role of the Red Army, Ukrainian fronts and Soviet partisan formations in expelling the Nazis, inside Ukraine, the second front of the fight against the fascist occupiers was opened by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. She, going ahead of her time, even then saw Ukraine as an independent state, and not part of the Soviet empire.
Ukrainians all over the world joined the fight against Nazism. As part of the armies of the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition - American, British, Canadian and others. In resistance movements of different European countries. On the fronts of Europe, North Africa and Southeast Asia, on the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Until now, these components of the Ukrainian contribution to the victory were either distorted or were generally unknown to the general public. And only now, after the Revolution of Dignity, against the backdrop of Russian aggression, which finally opened the eyes of the vast majority of Ukrainians to the real strategy of our neighbors regarding Ukraine, conditions arose for celebrating Victory Day in our own Ukrainian coordinate system,” Poroshenko said.
