Former President of Lithuania Valdas Adamkus called the absurd accusations of Belarusian Genocide during the Great Patriotic War. About this on Wednesday, June 2, reports DELFI.
94-year-old Adamkus said that he had never heard of those organizations and people with whom Belarusian security forces are associated. He also called the actions of Minsk “Stupid attempt to distract attention from the struggle of Belarusians for freedom.”
Previously, the Belarusian prosecutor’s office reported that he checks information about the involvement of Adamkus to the Collaborationist Battalion “The Army Defense of the Fatherland”, which conducted ethnic cleansing in the USSR in 1944. According to the security forces, after the liberation of the territory from German troops, some of the punishers disappeared in the West. Among them were Antanas Impulavichus, known as the Minsk Butcher, and his entrvenker Voldemaras Adamkavičius. The latter then changed the name on Valdas Adamkus.
Minsk sent a request to the law enforcement agencies to interrogate former president.
