Ukraine calls on foreign troops not to take part in Russia's May 9 parade
Ukraine warned Tuesday against any foreign troop participation in Russia's May 9 parade to mark 80 years since the defeat of Nazi Germany, saying it would be 'unacceptable' and seen as helping Moscow 'whitewash its war crimes.'
'The Russian army has committed and continues to commit atrocities in Ukraine on a scale that Europe has not seen since World War II,' Kyiv's foreign ministry said. 'To march side by side with them is to share responsibility for the blood of murdered Ukrainian children, civilians and military, not to honor the victory over Nazism.'
