Slovakian MP outraged Zelenskyy and not Russia was invited to commemoration of Auschwitz liberation
Andrej Danko, Deputy Speaker of the Slovak Parliament, who recently paid a visit to Moscow, has complained that Russia was not invited to the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Source: Danko on Telegram, as reported by European Pravda
Details: The Slovak deputy speaker is offended that "Germans and Bandera supporter Zelenskyy were sitting in the front row during the celebrations," and Russia was not even invited [Stepan Bandera was a Ukrainian nationalist leader and a key figure in the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) known for his efforts to achieve Ukrainian independence, particularly during World War II. He is viewed as a hero by Ukrainians for his fight against Soviet and Polish domination, while Russian propaganda dubs him a Nazi and uses this image to justify the invasion of Ukraine – ed.].
"This is the time we live in, dear friends. Yesterday, at the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, Germans and Bandera fan Zelenskyy sat in the front row, while Russians were not invited. History is distorted, they say one thing and do another," Danko wrote.
Prior to the celebrations marking the anniversary of the liberation of the extermination camp, Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergei Andreev said that Russian diplomats would not participate in them.
Background:
Danko recently spent several days in Russia.
Announcing the trip to Russia, Danko said that he would "consider it an honour" to have the opportunity to make a speech at the State Duma of the Russian Federation [the lower chamber of the Russian parliament – ed.].
