And in front of us are Russian armored personnel carriers, GRADs, and infantry fighting vehicles from the 5th year of the 12-year war. This Russian filth was defeated by the Ukrainian military, because it was brought to our holy Ukrainian land by the Russian occupiers. Muscovy&#8217;s war against Ukraine has been going on longer than the Soviet-German war. &#8220;Repeat&#8221; is not possible. For the fifth year they have been planning a parade in Kyiv, and now they are asking Kyiv for permission to hold a festive demonstration in Moscow,&#8221; the fifth President states.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We know the price of war not from archival footage, feature films, or black-and-white photographs. We know it from the sounds of sirens in the middle of the night, from trenches and trenches on our land, from children&#8217;s rooms, destroyed houses, and from cemeteries that have grown up in every Ukrainian city over the years,&#8221; says the leader of the &#8220;EU&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Today the world will say again &#8211; never again. But for us this is not just a historical slogan. This is not an inscription on a memorial. This is a matter of life and death of the Ukrainian people. That is why at one time our team made a principled, historical decision to abandon that Soviet day and move on to the European tradition of Remembrance Day. Because there is an abyss between memory and the cult of war. Europe after 1945 made the main conclusion. War is a tragedy that cannot be romanticized, cannot be turned into a show, cannot be raised to be fascinated by death and violence. And there are peoples who, after the war, said &#8211; never again. Never again. And there is a regime that said &#8211; &#8220;we can repeat it&#8221;. This is the Russian, Putin&#8217;s regime,&#8221; Poroshenko says. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&#038;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F1298892395681508%2F&#038;show_text=false&#038;width=560&#038;t=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/the-parade-will-be-victorious-how-russia-rewrote-the-history-of-world-war-ii\/\">\u201cThe parade will be victorious\u201d: how Russia rewrote the history of World War II<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> He emphasizes: Europe after World War II built human rights, unions, the rule of law, universities, an open world. Russia built a cult of war, tank parades, propaganda films, the myth of a &#8220;great empire&#8221; and the belief that force gives the right to humiliate, occupy and kill.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Russia is only capable of building a totalitarian system, where a person is nothing. At some point, Victory Day ceased to be a day of remembrance and became a day of preparation for the next war. And it was on this ideology that an entire Rusnya generation grew up, which today came to us, to Ukrainian land, as murderers. And we, Ukrainians, gave this phenomenon an accurate name &#8211; it is racism,&#8221; says Petro Poroshenko.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Racism is no longer just authoritarianism, it is a mixture of imperialism, the cult of power, hatred of freedom, contempt for human dignity, and the right of the strong to decide the fate of other peoples. And the more the world sees Bucha, Mariupol, Izyum, Avdiivka, Bakhmut, the Kherson torture chambers, and kidnapped Ukrainian children, the more obvious the terrible truth becomes. Racism has become one of the closest modern forms of the evil that Europe has already seen in the form of Nazism,&#8221; Poroshenko states.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/putin-never-wanted-peace-we-have-to-force-him-poroshenko-explained-what-needs-to-be-done-after-russia-s-withdrawal-from-the-negotiations\/\">\u201cPutin never wanted peace, we have to force him\u201d: Poroshenko explained what needs to be done after \u201cRussia\u2019s withdrawal from the negotiations\u201d<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> &#8220;That is why the issue of punishing Russian criminals is not only a question of Ukraine, it is a question of world security. Impunity always returns with a new war, but with new missiles, new graves, and new names of cities that the world learns to pronounce because of the tragedy. And that is why the tribunal against Russian criminals is not revenge, but an attempt to protect the future, your future, the future of Europe, the future of the world,&#8221; Poroshenko is convinced.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Today, the Ukrainian soldier is doing for Europe something that many in Europe have already forgotten. I remind you that freedom does not exist by itself, and that peace is not a natural state of history, that civilization must be defended with weapons in hand. And we are fighting for the right to live freely, for the right of Europe to remain a space of freedom, not fear. For the right of man not to be afraid of an empire that has once again decided that it can dictate to other peoples how to live. There will be no peace and freedom in Europe without confronting this empire. It is more dangerous than the Nazi empire, it possesses nuclear weapons, it cynically scares the world with these weapons,&#8221; Poroshenko warns.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Never again. A choice that Ukrainians are paying for with their own blood today. Eternal memory to all who died in the fight for the freedom of humanity. And glory to the Ukrainian heroes who today continue this fight for the right of the world to be peaceful, free, and humane,&#8221; Petro Poroshenko emphasized.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism, Petro Poroshenko said in a video address that racism is a modern version of a misanthropic ideology that continues to kill and destroy. &#8220;Behind my back is military equipment from World War II.
