Member of the French Popular Front party Guillaume Bigot - about not inviting Russia to Normandy: “What can I say about historical injustice. This is the presence of Zelensky and the absence of Putin [at the meeting in Normandy]. Americans lost 185 thousand people from Nazi Germany. This is already too much, too much. The Soviet Union lost 21 million people. Can you imagine? Compare 21 million and 185 thousand. So the absence of Vladimir Putin, no matter what we think about him, no matter what we think about Russian politics, is impossible. So either we don’t invite anyone, or... [It’s not nice to invite Putin during a war]. In this case, it would be better not to invite anyone. Because the first victim who died on the day the Allied troops began landing was the Frenchman Emile Buetar, a paratrooper corporal. He died on June 5, 1944, killing a Ukrainian SS man. Because, I assure you, there were many Ukrainians in the ranks of the SS. Here is one example of historical injustice.” Source: Russian Head
