[00:01:12][singing] >> This is probably the greatest holiday because such human losses and such heroism were demonstrated. This must be remembered.

[00:01:46]The fact that the Soviet Army, the multinational Soviet people, a multi-confessional society as we saw today, achieved victory is an undeniable truth. And we, of course, strongly oppose any attempts to distort this.

[00:02:02]Everyone fought together. Everyone struggled together and died together.

[00:02:07]Here, as you know, more than 700,000 Soviet people are buried in over 4,000 graves, representing all nationalities of the Soviet Union. So, this is our shared commemoration and our shared pain.

[00:02:21]I am very grateful to everyone that this day is widely marked across all CIS countries.

[00:02:26]In Berlin, as well, we feel sincere sympathy and genuine solidarity.

[00:02:41]I am also very grateful to German society, which today came in such large numbers to honor the memory of our heroes together with us.

[00:02:50]We value this, as we have many friends in Germany.

[00:02:53]Yes, in some political circles, there are different views, but we hope they remain in the minority and will continue to do so.

[00:03:02]We do not ignore the contribution of our allies in the anti-Hitler coalition. We remember and value it.

[00:03:09]Recently, at the commemorations in Torgau, we confirmed this in practice.

[00:03:14]We do not forget it.

[00:03:16]This is what brings us closer together, something that was also noted during the meeting between Vladimir Putin and US President Trump in Anchorage.

[00:03:52]>> I love you. I love you.
