On 9 May it should be celebrated throughout Europe, incomprehensible as Russia, which, like Brazil, celebrates triumph over Nazism, can be criticized for organising these celebrations," said Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
"Europe had to celebrate yesterday (9 May – ed.) ... France had to celebrate, Germany had to celebrate yesterday, due to the fact that thanks to what happened in 1945, Nazism was defeated.

I do not realize due to the fact that there were besides celebrations in Brazil," he said at a press conference after a visit to Russia.
