A commemoration to mark 80 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz camp in Poland by Soviet troops was attended by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Britain’s King Charles, French President Emmanuel Macron, Polish President Andrzej Duda and many other leaders.
“This is such a strange, shameful thing to do,“ Putin told Russian state television in an interview released on Sunday.
Putin said that if the Soviet soldiers who took part in the liberation of the camps could not be invited due to health or age, then at least their families could have been invited to the events marking the anniversary of the liberation.
More than 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, perished at Auschwitz in gas chambers or from starvation, cold and disease. Poles, Roma and Sinti, and Soviet prisoners of war were also killed there, according to the Auschwitz museum.
Other major groups killed included Soviet citizens, Poles, gypsies, sexual minorities, disabled people and others who offended Nazi ideas of racial superiority.
The International Criminal Court has ordered a warrant for Putin’s arrest for war crimes in Ukraine. Russia denies the accusations which Moscow says were made up to smear its image.
