Russia will do its best to ensure that WWII horrors are not repeated, according to Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Lavrov. The diplomat made this statement during a wreath-laying ceremony by memorial plaques in the lobby of the Russian Foreign Ministry, ТАSS informs.
We celebrate this great date in the history of our country - Victory Day every year," Minister said. "This is a day of joy and of grief at the same time for those who remained on the battlefields forever. This year, we are celebrating several anniversaries at once: the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad, the 75th anniversary of the Moscow Conference of Foreign Ministers of the Soviet Union, the United States and Great Britain and the 75th anniversary of the Tehran Conference at the highest level," Lavrov stated.
Lavrov encouraged everyone not to forget "other lessons of that epoch when national egoism and the unwillingness to respect the principle of equal and indivisible security took the upper hand." "I mean the Munich Betrayal that came as the apotheosis of the Western powers’ efforts to appease the aggressor," Foreign Minister said. "This was a prelude to the beginning of World War 2," Lavrov noted. Lavrov stressed that Russia would never act to the detriment of the security of others.
‘We will do everything to ensure that the horrors, which humankind lived through during World War 2, are never repeated," Russia’s Foreign Minister said.
