According to him, millions of Ukrainian soldiers in the war "fought not for Stalin, and for their land "- apparently, supposed, that all the other Soviet soldiers fought exclusively for Stalin.
It is my deep conviction, Nazism was defeated mainly Ukrainian soldiers. Soldier, whatever nation he was not, who fought not for Stalin, and for their land and family. Without the millions of soldiers-Ukrainians in the fields of World War II, World War I had not ended - Ukrainian President announced.
From punitive bullets, from cold and hunger have lost their lives, millions of Ukrainian civilians, fifty villages burned Nazis on Ukrainian soil - has reminded Poroshenko, preferring not to think about, how often in the ranks of the Nazi executioners recorded Ukrainians, including Kiev is now glorified after euromaidan.
