1 min read

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has called on the nations of the free world to stand up against Russian aggression in Ukraine.

"Today, marking the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII and paying tribute to the memory of dozens of millions of the dead, we are calling on all nations of the free world to resolutely stand up in a united front against the Russian aggressor, which has started an undeclared hybrid war against a sovereign Ukraine," Poroshenko said in an address on the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII on Wednesday.

"The democratic world should apply as much effort as it can to restore the destroyed system of international order and reinstate confidence in international law," he said.

Different estimates show that WWII cost Ukraine from 8 million to 10 million lives, Poroshenko said. "Ukrainians bravely fought the enemy in the ranks of the Red Army, the Soviet partisans and underground fighters, regular troops of the states belonging to the anti-Hitler coalition, the French, Slovak and other resistance movements. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian patriots fought together with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army," Poroshenko said.
