Russia’s MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment at the Telegram channel of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
According to a report by Sky News, the neo-Nazis of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will participate in the VE Day procession in London on May 8.

Apparently, MI5 and MI6 thought that the Soviet Union, which was on the verge of collapse at the time, would have its historical memory buried, and the publication of these materials would no longer compromise London.
