The White House did not comment on the record of the victory of the United States and Britain over Nazism

The White House did not comment on its post on social networks that the United States and Great Britain won the victory over Nazism on May 8, 1945. Writes about it TASS.

So, the agency sent a request to the White House with a request to clarify this publication. However, the American side did not provide any statements.

May 9 White House published a congratulatory message in which it was said that on May 8, 1945, America and Great Britain “defeated the Nazis”, while the USSR was not mentioned. Fast caused indignation among users of the network and the Russian Foreign Ministry, as well as in the Federation Council. Former German Interior Minister, member of the Free Democratic Party Gerhart Baum remindedthat Soviet troops liberated Berlin and Germany from the Nazis at the cost of incredible casualties, and this should not be forgotten.

In the USA, Great Britain and most countries of Western Europe, the end of World War II in Europe is celebrated on May 8 – the day of the surrender of Germany – and is called Victory Day in Europe. Due to the difference in time zones, Victory Day is celebrated in Russia on May 9th.
