US President Donald Trump’s claim that the US has contributed more than any other country in victory over Nazism in World War II are “influenced nonsense”, Russian Security Council Vice President Dmitry Mentvev.

Medvedev’s comment came in response to Trump’s post on the social networking platform Truth Social late Thursday that “no one has reached us in terms of power, bravery or military ability” in both world wars and that “we did more than any other country”.

Medvedev, who has evolved into one of Moscow’s most anti -Western “hawks” since the start of the Russian war in Ukraine, made that statement at a time when Washington and Moscow are trying to restore their tense relationships and at the same time assuming it.

“Trump recently announced that the US has contributed more to victory during World War II and that it will establish a special holiday on May 8. A holiday is not a bad thing, but his first statement is an influenced nonsense, “Medvedev said in a post on the VK social network.

“Our people sacrificed 27 million lives, sons and daughters, for the crash of cursed fascism. Therefore, Niki Day is ours and it is May 9th! That’s how it was, so it will always be! “
