在2020年第二次世界大战结束75周年之际，我们向遇难者和为战胜纳粹德国和结束纳粹大屠杀（Holocaust）而战的所有军人致敬。
1945年5月，虽然第二次世界大战在欧洲结束，但它并未给整个欧洲带来自由。欧洲大陆的中部和东部地区继续在共产主义政权统治下长达近50年。波罗的海国家（Baltic States）受到非法占领和兼并，苏联以强大的军事力量、压制手段和意识形态控制，将其他被垄断的国家钳制在它的铁掌中。
在数十年中，中欧和东欧的许多人为获得自由而献出生命，那里的千百万人被剥夺了他们的权利和基本自由，遭受酷刑迫害和被迫流亡。铁幕后的这些社会迫切寻求通往民主与独立之路。
1956年事件，77宪章（Charter 77）的成立和活动，团结工会运动（Solidarity movement），波罗的海人链（Baltic Way），1989年民族之秋（Autumn of Nations of 1989）和柏林墙（Berlin Wall）的倒塌，成为对欧洲重建自由和民主发挥了决定性作用的一个个重要里程碑。
今天，我们正在为以人权、民主和法治至上的强大和自由的欧洲而共同努力。未来应该以历史事实和使独裁政权的受害者得到公正为基础。我们随时准备同愿意追求这些原则的所有各方进行对话。对导致第二次世界大战和导致欧洲战后分裂的历史事件进行操纵，是给历史造假的可悲之举。
我们希望提醒国际社会的所有成员，持久的国际安全、稳定与和平要求我们认真和持续地遵守国际法律和常规，包括尊重所有国家的主权和领土完整。基于第二次世界大战带来的残酷教训，我们呼吁国际社会与我们一道坚决反对势力圈概念，并坚持所有主权国家一律平等。

Joint Statement on the 75th Anniversary of the end of the Second World War05/07/2020 11:42 AM EDT
Office of the Spokesperson
The following is a joint statement by the U. S. Secretary of State and the Foreign Ministers of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia.
Begin text:
Marking the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 2020, we pay tribute to the victims and to all soldiers who fought to defeat Nazi Germany and put an end to the Holocaust.
While May 1945 brought the end of the Second World War in Europe, it did not bring freedom to all of Europe. The central and eastern part of the continent remained under the rule of communist regimes for almost 50 years. The Baltic States were illegally occupied and annexed and the iron grip over the other captive nations was enforced by the Soviet Union using overwhelming military force, repression, and ideological control.
For many decades, numerous Europeans from the central and eastern part of the continent sacrificed their lives striving for freedom, as millions were deprived of their rights and fundamental freedoms, subjected to torture and forced displacement. Societies behind the Iron Curtain desperately sought a path to democracy and independence.
The events of 1956, creation and activities of the Charter 77, the Solidarity movement, the Baltic Way, the Autumn of Nations of 1989, and the collapse of the Berlin Wall were important milestones which contributed decisively to the recreation of freedom and democracy in Europe.
Today, we are working together toward a strong and free Europe, where human rights, democracy and the rule of law prevail. The future should be based on the facts of history and justice for the victims of totalitarian regimes. We are ready for dialogue with all those interested in pursuing these principles. Manipulating the historical events that led to the Second World War and to the division of Europe in the aftermath of the war constitutes a regrettable effort to falsify history.
We would like to remind all members of the international community that lasting international security, stability and peace requires genuine and continuous adherence to international law and norms, including the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states.  By learning the cruel lessons of the Second World War, we call on the international community to join us in firmly rejecting the concept of spheres of influence and insisting on equality of all sovereign nations.
