Russia's US Ambassador Aleksandr Darchiev spoke at the 'Candle of Memory' event held at the Russian Embassy in Washington.
Darchiev said, "The new manifestation of Nazism will be destroyed as a result of the special military operation, and victory will be ours."
The Russian diplomat stressed that Russia's enemies would achieve nothing, adding, "Because our cause is just."
June 22 is commemorated annually in Russia as the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow. This day is dedicated to one of the most tragic dates in the country's history, the start of the Great Patriotic War, in which approximately 27 million Soviet citizens lost their lives.
