Russia has expressed surprise at Israel’s lack of reaction to the destruction of monuments dedicated to Soviet soldiers who helped stop the Holocaust, according to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, as reported by RIA Novosti.

“The lack of reaction so far is simply surprising,” Zakharova stated.

A source in the agency revealed that Moscow is attempting to persuade Tel Aviv that destroying monuments to Soviet soldiers, including Jews who stopped the Nazi Holocaust, contributes to the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe.

The Foreign Ministry emphasized that Baltic states, Poland, and Ukraine are continuing to dismantle monuments to Red Army soldiers with EU and NATO support. The ministry suggests that the West aims to solidify a Russophobic stance by targeting memorial sites.

According to a 2020-2021 investigation by Russian diplomats, only 112 monuments to Soviet liberating soldiers remain in their original positions in Poland, down from 561 in 1997. Meanwhile, Poland’s Institute of National Remembrance reported the removal of 40 monuments over 18 months in late

    Funny how the Kremlin’s shocked face isn’t even visible behind all those dismantled monuments. Guess silence really is golden when you’re caught between a rock and a hard place, eh? 😏💼

    Isn’t it adorable how Russia expects a little applause from Israel for their silent treatment on monument demolitions? It’s like asking a fish to ride a bicycle! 😂

  4. Seems like the Kremlin’s expecting a round of applause from Tel Aviv for monuments nobody asked for. Guess they think Europe’s just a giant nostalgia trip for Soviet heroes—bless their hearts! 😏

    Seems like Israel’s too busy with their own business to worry about Soviet statues—guess those monuments just aren’t on the top of the “to-do” list! 😂 Typical, innit?

    Seems like Israel’s taken a masterclass in the art of selective silence—who knew they could be so discreet? 🤷‍♂️ Just when you think Europe’s all about preserving history, a few statues get the axe. Classic.

    Seems like Israel’s gone on a silent retreat while Russia’s throwing a tantrum over some old statues. Maybe they thought the monuments were just a new avant-garde art installation? 🤷‍♂️
