Today is the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism. The day when all of Europe marks the end of the most terrible war of the 20th century. A war after which there should have been only genuine peace. That was the dream back then, when the guns of World War II began to fall silent.
That war turned our land into a battlefield of brutal fighting, abuse in occupied territory, and the mass destruction of people and life. The losses of the Ukrainian people were among the greatest in World War II. And the contribution of Ukrainians to the defeat of the Nazis was also among the greatest. Millions of Ukrainians, serving in various armies of the Anti-Hitler Coalition states, fought against Nazism. Millions of Ukrainians were among the victors, having done everything in their power to ensure that absolute evil was defeated.
Unfortunately, 81 years later, we are once again forced to stop evil – evil that is just as absolute. Evil that brings nothing but ruins and abuse. And evil based on a similar ideology of enmity. An updated version of Nazism, marked: made in Russia.
Today, such Russian aggression can and must be defeated by the united free world. And I am grateful to everyone who helps us defend life. I am grateful to everyone who is not allowing this Russian regime to dictate to the world what comes next. Defending people’s lives and the freedom of nations from Putin is an absolutely dignified way to honor the memory of those who did not allow Hitler to subjugate Europe and the world.
Eternal gratitude to all who fought against Nazism and liberated people! Blessed memory to all innocent victims of World War II! Glory to every defender of life! Glory to Ukraine!
Veel deelnemers aan de herdenking in Enspijk. Geen wonder, de wereld staat in brand! We koesteren onze vrijheid. Dank aan de commissie 4 mei herdenking. @HK_WestBetuwe@raadwestbetuwe
🚨 Horrific. Russia just hit a Baptist church in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, with a glide bomb, killing and injuring church members. Show this video to everyone who’s saying that Russia protects Christians and the Christian faith.
De Betuwse Bloesemtocht is na 7 jaar weer van start gegaan! 20.000 wandelaars wandelen door het mooie Lingelandschap en genieten van de bloesem. #BBT#wandelen@HK_WestBetuwe@DeGelderlander
Vandaag starten we een nieuwe fase voor Nederland.Het is de hoogste tijd dat politici weer samen verantwoordelijkheid nemen. In ons landsbelang.
Met ambitie, oplossingen en de moed om over schaduwen heen te stappen. Een samenwerkingskabinet, omdat vooruitgang niet vanzelf komt; die maken we samen. Lees hier het hele coalitieakkoord: https://t.co/oR3aHMnik6
Dit belooft een superleuk optreden te worden en natuurlijk ga ik hier weer naar toe. Er zijn nog kaarten beschikbaar voor beide voorstellingen. Delen is lief :-)
