🇷🇺🇰🇬🇰🇿🇧🇾🇹🇯🇹🇲🇺🇿 Joint Statement by heads of diplomatic missions of the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States on the occasion of #VictoryDay
(May 9, 2022)
🕯 This year the world celebrates the 77th anniversary of the sacred holiday – Great Victory Day. In the spring of 1945, the multinational people of the USSR together with its anti-Hitler coalition allies liberated the planet from the yoke of Nazi tyranny. Unprecedented heroism of the great victorious generation helped overpower the misanthropic ideology.
⚔️ In the battles of Moscow and on the Kursk Bulge, in besieged Leningrad and on the streets of Stalingrad, representatives of all Soviet nationalities stood shoulder to shoulder to protect the shared Motherland. Their courage and selflessness on the front lines and in the rear, as well as in partisan units allowed first to stop and then to crush Hitler’s army.
🕯Our ancestors not only defended the independence of the Fatherland, but also freed the world from the "brown plague". The Soviet warriors-liberators rescued from captivity hundreds of thousands of prisoners of concentration camps.
The victory was won at a great cost. 27 million of our compatriots died. Almost half of victims were civilians. Hitler’s executioners and their henchmen strove for total annihilation of the peoples of the USSR, sparing neither women, nor children, nor the elderly.
🙏 We recall with appreciation the help of the allies at that fateful time. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the launch of the Alaska-Siberia air route, which was used during the war to deliver about eight thousand planes from the United States to the USSR.
🎖Our sacred duty is to preserve the truth about the Great Patriotic War and pass it on to future generations.
A low bow and deep gratitude to the veterans of the armies of the anti-Hitler coalition, who fought for our freedom in World War II. Your heroic feat will be forever in our hearts.
💐Happy Victory Day!
Anatoly Antonov, Ambassador of the Russian Federation
Baktybek Amanbaev, Ambassador of the Kyrgyz Republic
Yerzhan Ashikbayev, Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Dmitry Basik, Charge d'Affaires of the Republic of Belarus
Farrukh Hamralizoda, Ambassador of the Republic of Tajikistan
Meret Orazov, Ambassador of Turkmenistan
Javlon Vakhabov, Ambassador of the Republic of Uzbekistan

🎖 On May 9, the Russian Embassy in the United States hosted a reception in honor of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War with the participation of Russian and American veterans, ambassadors and senior diplomats from CIS countries, as well as heads of diplomatic missions of a number of BRICS states and other countries friendly to Russia.
🇷🇺🇺🇸 In his speech, Ambassador A.Darchiev noted that in the victorious 1945 the legendary and heroic Red Army, which broke the back of Hitler's war machine, put the final point in the Great Patriotic War in the defeated Berlin, where the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany was accepted. As it was emphasized, shoulder to shoulder with the Red Army, where all peoples of the Soviet Union stood together, fought the armies of the United States and other countries of the anti-Hitler coalition, including heroic China and fraternal Mongolia, which opposed Germany's ally - militaristic Japan.
🥇 The attendees honored with a minute of silence the memory of 27 million Soviet people who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of the Motherland, the liberation of Europe from the absolute evil of Nazism, which is once again raising its head there.
🔹The Russian Ambassador called for the restoration of normal, common sense-based relations between Russia and the United States, which have a special responsibility for maintaining stability and security in the world, based on the experience of combat alliance of our countries during World War II, which for the Soviet people was the Great Patriotic War.
🎹 A concert with the performance of wartime songs was also held. The Embassy staff together with the guests performed the song “Victory Day”.
