MOSCOW, March 04. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia is indignant with a statement by Ukrainian Permanent Representative in the United Nations Yuriy Sergeyev that “accusations against Ukrainian nationalists that the Soviet Union produced at the Nuremberg Tribunal were falsified,” the Russian Foreign Ministry stated on Tuesday.
“By such statement the Ukrainian official insulted the memory of World War Two victims, Russians, Ukrainians, Jews, Poles and citizens of other nationalities who fell victims of atrocities that fascists among Ukrainian nationalists committed,” the Russian diplomatic agency said.
“Proof of their brutal crimes is well-known. We are prepared to familiarize Mr. Sergeyev with them,” the ministry stated.
