Dmitry Medvedev called Trump wrong about World War II history. The Russian Security Council official rejected Trump claiming America played the main role in defeating the Nazis. Medvedev wrote on VKontakte that Trump wants to make May 8 a holiday based on false ideas about who won the war. He reminded Trump that Soviet forces captured Berlin at the end of the fighting.
Medvedev pointed out that Russians lost 27 million people stopping fascism during the war. He stated firmly that Victory Day belongs to Russia on May 9, not America on May 8. The former Russian president said this fact would never change despite what American leaders claim. Trump had recently declared both May 8 and November 11 as holidays in the United States. Medvedev described Europe as ungrateful for Russian sacrifices during the war.
