Russian President Vladimir Putin thanked China President Xi Jinping for participating in the 80th anniversary of the “sacred” victory over the Nazis in World War II and said the two countries now come together against “neo -Nazi.”
The presence of Xi Jinping in this week’s celebrations represents an important momentum for Putin, which from the beginning portrayed the war in Ukraine as a fight against the “modern” Nazis.
Ukraine and its allies reject this characterization and say it is a grotesque falsehood, accusing Moscow of conducting an invasion of the imperial style.
“The victory over fascism, achieved at the expense of huge sacrifices, has a lasting meaning,” said Putin A XI on Thursday (8).
“Along with our Chinese friends, we firmly defend the historical truth, protect the memory of the events of the years of war and neutralize the modern manifestations of neo -Nazism and militarism,” he said.
The president also said that China is willing to “firmly” deepen strategic cooperation with Russia.
Xi also stated that the two countries, such as World Power and Permanent Members of the UN Security Council, would work together to combat “unilateralism and intimidation”.
He stressed that they “would jointly promote the correct view of the history of World War II, would safeguard the authority and status of the United Nations, would resolutely defend the rights and interests of China, Russia and the vast majority of developing countries, and work together to promote equal, ordered, multipolar and inclusive economic globalization.”
The two leaders spoke after approaching a red carpet, opposite ends of one of the Kremlin halls, and squeezing their hands in front of the cameras. Each one greeted himself as “dear friend.”
