Warm greetings from NFF on Russian National Day
The National Freedom Front (NFF) has issued the following statement to coincide with the 34th Russian National Day: ”
On 12th June 1990, the First Congress of the People’s Deputies of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR, part of the Soviet Union) which was established after the dissolution of the United Soviet Socialist Republic, was held. Therefore 12th of June designated as Russian National Day.
However, the day was not vastly celebrated by Russia in 1990’s. During the period of 2000-2008, when the current Russian President Vladimir Putin held the position of President of Russia for the first time, took advance step to add new value to the Russian National Day. Since then, Russia has been celebrating her national day on the 12th June with great enthusiasm.
It is our reading that Russians celebrate the Russian National Day on 12th of June this year after achieving great victories. The actions carried out by the Russians against the collective West in the territory of Ukraine have so far caused massive defeats to the collective West.
At this moment, we emphasise with great pleasure that the victory of the Russians has brought great inspiration to the anti-imperialist camp. However, in the face of the defeat, we feel that there is a danger that the collective West will finally lose its mind and attack the Russian state by using various unethical methods.
It is without any doubt that the collective West will use all means to launch military and ideological warfare against Russia, but we are confident that the Russian State led by His Excellency President Vladimir Putin will overcome all challenges.
We would also like to extend our warm greetings to the Russian people, who have been our traditional friends and this friendship is continuously being strengthened by His Excellency Mr. Vladimir Putin.
We are honored to join the celebration of the Russian National Day.”
