Thank you Zirochka,
It is very right and necessary - to remember those who died or were killed for our chance to live in peace.
Yes you are right. The Eastern Front was also a huge massacre where millions died.
Russia decided to annex a part of Ukraine
The situation is Ukraine is a disgraceful invasion by an aggresive force. The rest of the world stood by and watched as this happened live on 24/7 TV. We have to ask why no one came to help?
The world also stood by when Hitler invaded Austria and it was only becasue Britain had a defense agreement with Poland so that when Hitler invaded Poland.
Britain was forced (reluctantly) to step in.
Maybe you don't know British history but there were many politicians, ordinary people and royalty in Britain that wanted to appease Hitler and go along with more or less whatever he wanted!
There were plenty of Nazi's in England before and during the war.
We have many Nazi's creeping out of the woodwork again here in Britain. They have changed their name but the tactics are the same. Divide the people and spread hate towards foreigners.
Some people are just hard to understand? What drives them to think this way? Maybe they are just evil?
That is what I meant saying that alliance is good if everyone respect the rules.
On 5 December 1994, the so-called Budapest Memorandum was signed between Ukraine, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, upon which the States listed above were to respect the independence, sovereignty and existing borders of Ukraine, refrain from any manifestation of aggression against Ukraine, including economic pressure (wiki).
And today we all see hot it turns out .....
I did not know that. But today, looking at what is going in my own country, I can easily believe that :( Sad to see that people do same mistakes again and again.
