Yemen’s Defense Ministry has placed a wreath at the Russian Unknown Soldier Monument in Raudha area in celebration of the victory anniversary over Fascism. The ceremony was attended by a number of military attaches in Yemen.
Russian ambassador to Yemen Alexander Kalugin told Yemen Times that he had disastrous memories of that day. He added that on 22 June 1941 the fascist forces started an offensive on the former Soviet Union which sustained great losses. ” We triumphed over German fascism by virtue of the struggle of the Soviet people,” the Russian ambassador added.
Ambassador Kalugin has also expressed satisfaction and congratulations on the signing of the international border treaty between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, saying it would provide stability in the region.
