Worth remembering that the overwhelming majority of German casualties in WWII were inflicted by the Soviets. Google the battle of Kursk.

Our alliance with Stalin saved millions of Allied lives. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Indeed, not denigrating what the Soviet Union did to fight Germany

Their loses were extreme( same tactics as today), but even though Putin is an “expert” on history, people need to understand the unique take on ww2 the Russians have

1st no mention of starting war allied with Germany in taking Poland
2nd. Little to no recognition of massive aid that was given to Soviet Union to fight Germany. Without that aid it is likely Soviet losses would have been even more extreme
3rd little to no recognition of the loses allied flyboys suffered in bombing and tactical air campaign to degrade Germany industry and POL capabilities.
4th basically Soviet Union won ww2 er ah great patriotic war single handily
5th poland had it coming for not agreeing to germanys most “reasonable “ demands(sound familiar)
