Presidents of Belarus and Russia open new premises of Belarusian State Museum of Great Patriotic War History

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko and President of Russia Vladimir Putin visited the new premises of the Belarusian State Museum of the Great Patriotic War History in Minsk.

Instead of gratitude for the Great Victory the West uses high-handed dictate and sanctions. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko made the statement at the opening.

The head of state underlined that the immortal words by Prince Alexander Nevsky “God is in truth, not force” are the key to understanding the origins of the Great Victory in the fight against the Nazi invaders in which all the nations of the Soviet Union took part:

 "Only thanks to the unity of the multinational Soviet people, who rose up to defend the common fatherland as one, we managed to destroy the powerful foe that had been unstoppable until then. Instead of simply driving away the aggressor we freed the entire mankind from the threat of enslavement by the Nazi. It was the defeat of the Nazi troops on the Eastern Front that determined the outcome of World War Two and the entire world order afterwards. And it is the truth.

One would assume that Western nations should appreciate the contribution of our nations to the Great Victory, however, instead of gratitude we get high-handed dictate and sanctions. And, unfortunately, it is also true."
