Russian President Vladimir Putin likened his country’s invasion of Ukraine to the war against Nazism, in a speech marking the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad.

He said that history repeats itself, referring to Germany’s decision to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine.

He added, “It is unbelievable, but it is true. We are again threatened by German Leopard tanks.”

Germany, along with many other countries, decided to help Ukraine defend its territory.
