Chargeé d'Affaires of Ukraine to Belgium Ms Nataliia Anoshyna took part in commemorative events in the city of Charleroi, where today the tragic events of the Second World War are remembered. Then, on September 4, 1944, the Nazis tortured and executed 241 innocent people, including both local residents and foreigners. Unfortunately, there was one Ukrainian in the long list of the murdered...

Ukraine understands all the pain and sadness of the Belgian people very well, since it is currently going through the same dark times of history. The only difference is that instead of Nazi criminals, tortures, murders and enslavements are carried out by rashists.

Unfortunately, even now, like bleeding wounds, the fresh mass graves are appearing all over our country, in which Ukrainian people are buried, who, like the Belgians 79 years ago, did not bow their heads to the aggressors.

The experience of the Second World War teaches us a very important lesson: that it is impossible to negotiate and make arrangements with the occupants, because each such concession leads to even greater abuses and crimes.

The russian terrorist state understands only the language of force. That is why the world must be united so that russia finally understands that it will be responsible for all the crimes committed in Ukraine, and we will never forget the atrocities of russians against Ukrainians.
