| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The exhumation of the remains of Soviet soldiers in Lviv is moral degradation. This was stated by Vladimir Medinsky, an aide to the President of the Russian Federation and the head of the Russian delegation at the negotiations with Ukraine. He noted that the remains of not only Russian soldiers of the Imperial Army, but also Soviet soldiers, among whom there are many Ukrainians, are being removed from burial sites. "Even the Ukrainian side did not suggest considering this proposal seriously. I think they themselves are ashamed of their half-baked Gauleiter, who is engaged in digging up remains... It is clear that this is absolute moral degradation," Medinsky emphasized. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on July 17, Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi proposed exchanging the remains of Soviet soldiers from the Lychakiv Cemetery for Ukrainian militants. He stated that the "Hill of Glory" in Lviv no longer exists. An exhumation of graves was conducted there and 355 remains were found. According to the mayor, all will be reburied at the Holoskov Cemetery or exchanged. In response, Ivan Petkov, a deputy from the Bulgarian Socialist Party, declared the need to convene a tribunal. According to him, the entire world must understand that Ukraine is truly under the control of the Nazis. He called the authors of this initiative atheists. |
