Putin asserts that he has “something to respond” to the Allied tanks



On February 2, 1943, the bloody and brutal Battle of Stalingrad, now Volgograd, ended with the defeat of Hitler’s forces by the Red Army, which completely changed the course of the conflict and laid the foundations for victory over Germany. The Nazi attack occurred two years and three months later. The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, who does not miss the major events associated with that devastating war, also participated today, Thursday, in the activities organized on the occasion of the eightieth anniversary of the battle. Volgograd, a city on the banks of the majestic Volga River, was called Stalingrad until 1961 in honor of communist dictator Joseph Stalin. Putin seized the opportunity to once again attack the West for its military aid to Ukraine. He put his current offensive in the neighboring country and the war against Nazi Germany on the same plane. “Now, unfortunately, we see that the ideology of Nazism in its modern form and appearance again creates direct threats to the security of our country. We are forced again and again to reject the collective aggression of the West, ”the Russian president lashed out to the military, members of patriotic organizations and youth groups. In his words, “It is unbelievable, but it is a fact, that we are once again threatened by German Leopard tanks which have crosses painted on their hulls.” Relevant record news Putin does not want to complete the conquest of Donbass before the first anniversary of the war Rafael M. Weapons, Putin warned that “we are not sending our tanks to your borders, but we have something to respond with and it will not be exactly with the use of armor is what will end, this is something that should Everyone understands it.” Those who drag European countries, including Germany, into a new war with Russia, and even irresponsibly declare it a fait accompli, and those who hope for victory over Russia on the battlefield, apparently do not understand that today’s war with Russia will be something completely different.” According to the head of the Kremlin, “the Russians have the substance of the winners because they sucked it from mother’s milk.” He also said that “despite the propaganda efforts of Western elites who are hostile to us, we have many friends all over the world, including the American continent, North America and Europe.” His speech received a standing ovation from those present in the room. Putin, alone in the festivities, the great Russian leader also gave a floral offering and went all alone to the ‘Mamayev Kurgan’ memorial complex, a hill on the Volga that is crowned with a colossal statue of a sword-wielding woman. He was accompanied only by his bodyguards and an honor guard. The police did not let anyone pass while Putin was there. Celebrations included a military parade and the unveiling of a bust of Stalin on Wednesday. During the days when the festivities passed, the local authorities decided that Volgograd should be called Stalingrad again, even going so far as to put up pointers and signs with that name at the entrance to the city. The confrontation at Stalingrad between the Germans and the Soviets between July 17, 1942 and February 2, 1943 was certainly the fiercest and bloodiest confrontation in history. Stalin wanted this city that bears his name not to fall into the hands of the Nazis and ordered his soldiers “not to retreat a single step.” German planes and tanks could do nothing against street fighting tactics in the cold and hunger. On February 2, 1943, the Nazi forces fighting at Stalingrad, led by Field Marshal Friedrich von Paulus, were forced to surrender. This was the first major German setback that turned the tide in favor of the Soviet Union.
