🗓 On October 28, 1944, the Red Army liberated the territory of Ukraine from the Nazi invaders.
🕯 During the years of the German occupation, Ukraine had a network of concentration camps, prisons & ghettos. There was a mass execution site in almost every city. Several million people died at the hands of the Nazis and their henchmen.
❗️ Tens of thousands of Ukrainian nationalists joined the Nazis, carrying out ethnic cleansings & massacres, brutally killing communists, Jews & civilians.
🎖 At the same time millions of Ukrainians fought in the Red Army against the Nazis, making a significant contribution to the victory of the USSR over Germany. Orders and medals were awarded to approximately 2.5 million Ukrainian soldiers, of which 2,021 became Heroes of the Soviet Union.
☝️ The liberation of Ukraine from the Nazi invaders became one of the major milestones of the Great Patriotic War and allowed the Red Army to continue its victorious march on Berlin.
