The American newspaper offers Ukraine and I Will sink down in common to honor memory fallen in World War II in Kiev

Kiev, but not Moscow, has to become a venue of celebrations on the occasion of the 70 anniversary of a victory in World War II. It is told about it in a column of the Los Angeles Times editors.

Journalists note that the German chancellor Angela Merkel and the prime minister of Britain David Cameron fairly rejected the invitation of the head of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to take part in celebration of this date. World leaders can still visit the actions urged to immortalize memory of war, but for this purpose they need to go to Kiev, but not to Moscow.

Los Angeles Times writes that the Red Army assumed the main blow in fight against Wehrmacht, for what the Soviet Union had to pay the awful price. However in 2015 Moscow can hardly be considered as a suitable place for a meeting of the western leaders.

"As Russia arranged the conflict in Ukraine, the western leaders can't sit on Red Square and look at parade of the Russian military, whose companions were at war quite recently - and, maybe, and still are at war - in the east of Ukraine, in only 500 kilometers to the South from Moscow", - writes LA Times.

Except war in Ukraine, Putin vinovat also that tries to attribute in recent years only Russia a victory in World War II. The anger of Ukraine and other countries of the former Soviet Union in this regard is clear - their people the population also suffered awful losses.

Losses of Russians were the most numerous. However as a percentage of the total number of the population Ukraine suffered more, having lost 25% of the inhabitants, notes LA Times.

Kiev and the West could suit a celebration without parade of military equipment and honor memory fallen from all countries of the former Union. It would give the chance to the U.S. President Barack Obama and other western leaders to pay a tribute of respect to millions of soldiers who bravely battled and gave the lives to stop Hitler. And they would make it on the conditions, but not on the terms of Putin.

It will also show to Russians that their president got to isolation because of aggression against Ukraine. "Let promotion of the Kremlin will try to hide how in Kiev leaders of the western countries pay a tribute of respect to the Soviet people - including to Russians, - heroically battling in World War II", - writes the edition.
