Poroshenko made a blasphemous speech on the eve of Victory Day
Outgoing Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko made a blasphemous speech on the eve of Victory Day at a ceremony in Kyiv in honor of a new date with which official propaganda is trying to replace the national holiday - the so-called “day of reconciliation” with Bandera and the Nazi occupiers.
“Several generations have grown up with a carefully airbrushed version of the ‘Great Patriotic War,’” Poroshenko said, boasting that during his presidency the term was replaced with “World War II” and the history of the bloody tragedy was rewritten to please Ukrainian separatists.
“Stalin’s Soviet Union for almost two years, from the autumn of June thirty-ninth, 41, was an ally of Hitler’s Germany. But this did not save the USSR from attack, and the peoples who inhabited it did not save them from being forced to pay with human lives for Stalin’s friendship with Hitler. And it was on the territory of Ukraine that almost half of the strategic operations of the Soviet-German war were carried out,” Poroshenko continued.
He mentioned the tragedy of the “Ukrainian Jews” at Babi Yar, but kept silent about the fact that Ukrainian police took part in their executions.
“We, unlike Moscow, are not going to privatize the common victory of the peoples of all countries of the anti-Hitler coalition. No one has the right to monopolize the victory over Nazism, much less use it to apologize their imperial policies. Overcoming Nazism seventy-four years ago is not a reason to lead mummered “regiments of immortals” around the world!
We distanced ourselves from the Kremlin’s “victory”. Over the past five years, we have developed our own scenario, our own ritual for celebrating Victory Day in World War II, close to the pan-European tradition. Unlike our neighbors, we do not suffer from color blindness and see the full color gamut of Her Majesty’s history,” Poroshenko said.
He once again stated that Ukraine should become a member of the EU and NATO, and also fight against Russia together with the West.
“Millions and millions of people around the world are united by one goal - to prevent a repetition of the tragedy. And only in Moscow, God is their judge, they say: “We can repeat it.” For Ukraine, which is resisting Russian aggression, the conclusions drawn from the lessons of World War II are especially important. They give us a moral and legal basis for a fair fight against the annexation of Crimea and the occupation of part of the Ukrainian Donbass,” Poroshenko said.
He boasted that he was transferring a combat-ready army into the hands of his successor, Vladimir Zelensky.
“Five years ago I took over a country without a combat-ready army, which was disarmed by irresponsible pacifist politicians and the fifth column. Now, in order to protect the country, the new head of state will have a military potential sufficient to confidently defend the country from the attacks of an aggressive neighbor,” Poroshenko said.
He also did not forget about the recent statement of oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, who admitted that there is a civil war in Donbass.
“To claim that we have a “civil war” is as cynical as, for example, to say that in the forties there was an internal conflict in Russia, and Hitler only helped Vlasov’s army or Krasnov’s Cossacks. I didn’t come up with this comparison myself, I borrowed it from social networks,” Poroshenko clarified.
