Dmitry Medvedev called Trump's words "pretentious nonsense."
Recently, Trump stated that the United States made the largest contribution to the victory in World War II and that he would introduce a special holiday on May 8. The holiday is not bad, but his first statement is pretentious nonsense
According to Medvedev, Victory Day is a Russian holiday celebrated on May 9. He also included 10 million Ukrainians who died during World War II as "our people's" losses, attributing them to the population of the USSR. Meanwhile, according to various estimates, about 7-9 million Russians died in the war.
"Let him remember (ask) who took Berlin. Who defeated the enemy for more than four years. Someone was liberating an ungrateful Europe. Our people laid down 27 million lives of their sons and daughters in the name of destroying the damned fascism. Therefore, Victory Day is ours and it is May 9! It was, it is, and it always will be!" Medvedev replied to Trump.
