Putin calls exclusion from Auschwitz liberation event ‘shameful’

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday not inviting Russia to events marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp was “shameful.”

“As for the invitation and non-invitation to events related to the liberation of Auschwitz, this is, of course, such a strange, shameful thing,” Putin said in an interview with Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin, an excerpt of which was shared on his Telegram account.

“You can have any attitude toward Russia’s policy, toward the head of the Russian state, toward me; no one is begging for any invitation. But if you think about it, you could have acted much more subtly,” Putin further said.

The Russian president argued that if it was no longer possible to invite Soviet soldiers who liberated the camp because of their health or age, their relatives could have at least been invited.

Russia has not been invited to take part in the annual events commemorating Auschwitz’s liberation since the start of the Ukraine war in February 2022.

Don’t equate Putin with the Holocaust.

I have to see a total of the deaths caused by Putin.

Of course, if we take Russia in the modern age, the numbers murdered go quite a bit higher.

And Russia was Hitler’s ally in the subjugation of Poland, which led to Auchwitz and the holocaust.

At least Germany was defeated. Russia is still out there causing mass death and destruction.

---- "The year before, Kaczynski's plane crashed on the way to Smolensk.

" Given my comment detailed the Medvedev and Komorowski attendance at the 2011 memorial, what was your point?

Plane crashes occur, and the BBC states that was pilot error trying to land in dense fog. We just had a couple of our very own tragedies this last week. Not to mention those two assassination attempts on our President Trump. The world is a messy place.
