Ukraine "silenced the exploits of Crimean Tatars in World War II" - Crimean collaborator

Crimean Tatar, "deputy of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea" Ibraim Shirin on the air of the Russian occupiers-controlled TV channel Millet made a statement that more information about Crimean Tatars - participants of World War II on the side of the Soviet Union - was allegedly obtained only after the Russian occupation of Crimea, as Ukraine "hid this information".
"If Ukraine truly loved the Crimean Tatar people, all our heroes would have been revealed long ago, and they would have been on a pedestal. It was not profitable for them. Today, we are in Russia, and I know that there are a number of processes to perpetuate the memory of our heroes of the Great Patriotic War*, the Crimean Tatars - we install busts, memorial plaques, name institutions, libraries, streets in their honor. It's still ahead, but by May 9, you will see a number of unveiled monuments and memorial plaques," Shirin said.

*This is how Russian propaganda calls the confrontation between the USSR and Nazi Germany during World War II.
