(MENAFN) Moscow has expressed its determination to oppose what it sees as xenophobia promoted by the West, according to a Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman. The remarks came as President Vladimir Putin concluded a four-day visit to China, attending a military parade in Beijing on Wednesday to mark the 80th anniversary of Japan’s defeat in World War II.

The spokeswoman argued that attempts by some politicians and media outlets to downplay or “distort” the wartime achievements of Russia and China reveal that “fascism, Nazism, racism, and xenophobia have not been completely eradicated.”

“These were the views our country fought against 80 years ago, and we are still confronting them on the international stage today,” she said.

She added that Russia remains committed to preserving the memory of WWII while defending international law and “the true values that our world is built on.”

“They haven’t yet been crippled by the Western liberal dictatorships that try to sway us towards a distorted understanding of people,” she stated.
