The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson reiterated that the Nanjing Massacre was a war crime committed by Japanese militarism.

Zakharova: The Nanjing Massacre was a brutal crime of Japanese militarism. On the 11th local time, Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated at a regular press conference that the Nanjing Massacre that occurred on December 13, 1937, took the lives of hundreds of thousands of Nanjing civilians and was a symbol of the brutality and crimes against humanity committed by Japanese militarism. Zakharova emphasized that the historical truth of the Nanjing Massacre is indisputable. The Far East International Military Tribunal verified it in a judicial manner and confirmed it in its verdict, which together with the Nuremberg Trial rulings have become an unshakable cornerstone of the post-war international order and the contemporary international system. Any attempt to question these verdicts, rehabilitate Nazism and militarism, alter the outcome of World War II, or downplay the scale of the crimes should be condemned by the entire international community.
