Putin praises Soviet troops for liberating Auschwitz
Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised the role played by the Red Army in the liberation of Auschwitz. The infamous concentration camp was liberated by Soviet troops on January 27, 1945, with only 7500 survivors found. However, Russia is not invited to this year's commemorations due to ongoing conflicts. Director Piotr Cywiński of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum criticized Russia's exclusion, highlighting that both Russians and Ukrainians were part of the forces that liberated the camp.
