Russia's President Vladimir Putin sent congratulatory messages to the leaders and citizens of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova,  Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Abkhazia, South Ossetia,  Azerbaijan, as well as the peoples of Georgia and Ukraine on the  occasion of the 75th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic  War. This was reported by the Kremlin press service.

The President of Russia emphasized that our countries  sacredly honor  the memory of heroes who, with their courage at the front and their  dedicated work in the rear, helped to win the Nazism, and this  Victory has become our common great achievement. "The sacred duty of  current generations is to forever preserve the memory of those who,  at the cost of innumerable sacrifices and deprivations, defended the  freedom of their native land, to surround our dear veterans with  attention and care," Vladimir Putin noted.

The head of the Russian state recalled the need to resolutely resist  any attempts to rewrite the results of the Great Patriotic War, to  whitewash and obliterate the inhumane crimes committed by the Nazis  and their accomplices.

Vladimir Putin expressed confidence that the common memory of the  feats of fathers and grandfathers will contribute to the constructive  development of bilateral cooperation in various fields, as well as  partnership in confronting modern challenges and threats, including  such as the coronavirus pandemic.

The leader of Russia conveyed to all veterans of the Great Patriotic  War, partisans and home front workers sincere words of gratitude and  wishes for good health, happiness, prosperity and long life.
