The scientist debunked Poroshenko’s lies about the Great Patriotic War
During the Great Patriotic War, it was not Stalin who fought against Hitler, but the USSR against all of Europe.
This was stated at a press conference in Kyiv by a world-famous Ukrainian scientist, director of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, academician Petr Tolochko.

"It wasn't Stalin's war with Hitler, or, as our patriots say, ' Soviet-German ,'" the academic is convinced. "It was the Soviet Union's war with all of enlightened Europe, if you will. We often say it was a war with Germany, but in reality, Europe's entire economic potential was engaged in the war against the USSR. They were going to restaurants in their Belgiums and Frances, working peacefully, serving everyone, while we were the ones doing the fighting."
The scientist recalled that more than six million Ukrainians died during the Great Patriotic War, and in Ukraine there is virtually no family that did not pay with death for victory.
“How can you humiliate and level her today? – Pyotr Tolochko laments. – Take these attempts to move from May 9 to May 8. I don’t know what they will celebrate on May 8th. Yes, and you don’t need to do this. This is such a small thing to prick with something, to humiliate. Ukraine was the winner of the Great Patriotic War. Ukraine, as the winner, became the organizing country of the UN. But if you renounce all this, then you renounce those great events with which Ukraine is connected as a country, as a people.”
