Attention was drawn to the participation of the Prime Minister of Armenia, the presidents of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in the event on Red Square in Moscow on May 9.

During the event, the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, who is wanted by international justice for war crimes, justified the killing of Ukrainians, the destruction of Ukrainian cities and villages, the abduction of Ukrainian children, and repression against residents of occupied Ukrainian territories. The night before the meeting, the Russian Federation launched 25 cruise missiles over Ukraine, including 15 over Kyiv, in order to cause even more deaths and cause even more destruction on Ukrainian soil.

The participants were shown Russian military equipment, which has been participating in Russia's unprovoked aggressive war against Ukraine for the tenth year in a row.

We consider the participation of the leaders of the specified foreign countries in a public event together with a war criminal who flaunted the outbreak of war in Europe on a scale unknown since the Second World War as an immoral and unfriendly step towards Ukraine, showing contempt for the Ukrainian people who are fighting for their survival and freedom.

The peoples of Central Asia and the Caucasus made an invaluable contribution to the victory over Nazism 78 years ago. They do not deserve the fate of being used now by the Kremlin to participate in a fake action that has nothing to do with the feat of the victors over Nazism.
