German politician criticizes refusal to invite Russia to ceremony

Berlin, Jan 27 (Prensa Latina) Former German presidential candidate Max Otte criticized Poland's refusal to invite Russia to the celebrations in honor of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz.

Otte recalled on X that it was the Red Army that liberated Auschwitz and the Soviet Union bore the brunt of World War II, and yet Russia was not invited, which is a shame, he wrote.

On January 27th, events will be held in Auschwitz to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, in which several dozen government delegations will participate.

Russian diplomats will not travel to Auschwitz for the fourth consecutive year.

As Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergei Andreyev noted on Sunday, there is no need to attend an event where no one will remember who liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp and the whole of Europe.
