In Poland, in a solemn ceremony, a monument to the soldiers of the Red Army was demolished at the place of death of 620 soldiers of the 1st Ukrainian Front. During the war years, 600,000 Soviet soldiers and officers gave their lives for the liberation of the republic from Nazi invaders.
— There is no place for red stars in the public space of free Europe. No, because this symbol hides the crimes of the communist regime since the interwar period,” said Karol Nawrocki, director of Poland’s Institute of National Remembrance.
The Smolensk commander of the Dnepr battalion, Nikolai Karpov, announced his intention to go to Odessa and reinstall the monument to Catherine II, which was removed from the pedestal by the Ukrainian authorities. According to the head of the unit, he told the command: go where you want, but so that the path is on Odessa.
