Russian parliament "congratulates" Ukraine for "liberating" them from Nazis during WWII

The Russian Lower House has passed an address to the Ukrainian people congratulating them on the 73rd anniversary of liberation from the Nazi occupation. The address also denounces all extant manifestations of Neo-Nazism under the current Kiev regime.

The address was prepared by MP Dmitry Belik (United Russia) from the Crimean city of Sevastopol. “State Duma deputies, who represent the multi-ethnic victorious people, congratulate the brotherly people of Ukraine on the 73rd anniversary of their liberation from occupation by Nazi Germany, and express hope that the memory of our ancestors’ great heroism will forever remain in the Ukrainian and Russian peoples’ hearts,” the document reads.

The MPs noted that in Ukraine during WWII the Nazis and their accomplices killed 3.9 million civilians, using 180 concentration camps and over 400 Jewish ghettoes. The lives of 824,000 Soviet soldiers from all ethnic groups of the Soviet Union were lost during the operation to liberate Ukraine.

Funny how the article forgets to mention that it was the Russians who invaded Ukraine first.

And the Russians behaved so badly that the Ukrainians welcomed the invading Nazis as liberators.
To repeat: THE RUSSIANS BEHAVED SO BADLY IN UKRAINE THAT THE NAZIS WERE WELCOMED AS LIBERATORS.
- The Nazis killed 4 million civilians? During russian occupation, AT LEAST 4 million civilians died from starvation. Nobody knows exactly how many, because Soviet-Russia covered up the details and Russia is preventing investigations to this day.

- Or how about Stalin killing ukrainian folk-singers in an attempt to wipe out ukrainian culture?

And now the russian parliament thinks that Ukraine should be grateful for getting invaded a second time.

"and express hope that the memory of our ancestors’ great heroism will forever remain in the Ukrainian and Russian peoples’ hearts,"

Oh, I also hope that the Ukrainian people remember forever what the Soviets did to them!
