All freedom loving people must reject and condemn the US& #39; attempt to rewrite history.The legacy of the USSR will not be disrespected: 80% of Nazi soldiers died at the hands of the Soviets. The Soviets alone fought 200 Nazi divisions, while the US & UK together fought 10. #VDay75 https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1258842411524132865">https://twitter.com/WhiteHous...

Today& #39;s politics must not be allowed to interfere with history. If anything, history should inform today& #39;s politics: defeating the Nazis is a powerful example of what the West and Russia can achieve together. Pic: gentle reminder not to get your views of Russia from the West.

Victory Day celebration must be inclusive. Acknowledging that the Soviets paid the butcher& #39;s bill doesn& #39;t diminish the importance of the Western front. Majority of the soldiers that executed the crucial Operation Dragoon were from then French colonies in Africa & the Carribbean.

In 2014, then French President François Hollande described Operation Dragoon as the pivot, which had "enabled France to become what it is today."
While WWII celebration mustn& #39;t be about who did what, but a day to celebrate triumph over Nazism, who did what must not be forgotten.
