World powers demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine - Poroshenko
KYIV. May 9 (Interfax) - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko believes that the world has demonstrated solidarity with Ukraine on May 9.
"The whole world supports Ukraine. The broad international boycott of today's parade in Red Square in Moscow became one of the manifestations of this support," he said.
Earlier reports said that 28 heads of state and governments as well as the leaders of the UN and UNESCO are to take part in the festivities in Moscow on May 8-10 dedicated to the 70th anniversary of V-Day.
Poroshenko spoke on Saturday at a ceremony at the National Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War at which conscripts of the presidential regiment and the brigade of guards of the General Staff took their oath.
Once again he reminded his audience of Ukraine's contribution to the victory won 70 years ago. He said that at least 6 million Ukrainians fought in the Red Army.
