Acting Russian Ambassador to Poland: Poland Has Destroyed a Large Number of Soviet Soldiers' Monuments
Acting Russian Ambassador to Poland Andrei Ordash told journalists that the Polish government has destroyed most of the monuments commemorating Soviet soldiers who liberated Poland.
Ordash laid a wreath at the Soviet soldiers' cemetery in Warsaw on Saturday, which marked the anniversary of Poland's liberation from German occupation.
Ordash said, "Since 2014, most of the monuments commemorating Soviet soldiers who liberated Poland and those who fought alongside the Poles have been destroyed. There were 561 monuments not related to cemeteries, and now only dozens remain, and they are also facing the danger of being completely destroyed."
In recent years, Poland has been actively removing monuments.
Russian diplomats conducted an inspection between 2020 and 2021, which showed that only 112 Soviet Liberation Army soldier monuments remained intact at their original locations in Poland, despite there being 561 such monuments in 1997.
