"It has been almost eight decades since the defeat of Nazi Germany in Imperial Japan and fascist Italy. But we are again seeing death and destruction on the European continent. Well, Kyiv maybe 2000 kilometers from here, they, too, right now today are experiencing the same horrors that the French citizens experienced in World War Two at the hands of the Nazi invaders."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Milley, US Army General and US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:
"The world has come together in support of the defense of Ukraine against a determined invader, the fight for Ukraine is about honouring these veterans of World War Two. It's about maintaining the so called 'global rules-based international order,' the order that was established by the dead that are buried here at this cemetery. Underlying that order is the principle that strong countries cannot just invade small countries. That might does not make right. That aggression can never be left to stand. Each country is sovereign and each country has a right to their territorial integrity."

"Here at the beaches of Normandy 78 years ago, ordinary people from all walks of life came together to serve the cause of liberty. Early in the morning, on 6 June, as the German defenders on these bluffs looked out to sea, they bore witness to the first plumes of black smoke. As 700 allied ships disembarked, 137 allied soldiers from several different countries that would storm the beaches of Normandy and relentlessly turned back the Nazi tide."

STORYLINE:
US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley on Monday spoke about Ukraine's struggle, in its fight against Russia's invasion, during a ceremony to mark the 78th anniversary of the D-Day landing in Normandy.
In his remarks at the event in Colleville-sur-Mer, General Milley said that "the fight in Ukraine is about honouring these veterans of World War II."
"It's about maintaining the so-called 'global rules-based international order' that was established by the dead who are buried here at this cemetery," Milley told the audience at the American Cemetery which overlooks Omaha Beach .
For the past two years, D-Day ceremonies were reduced to a minimum amid COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
This year, crowds of French and international visitors - including veterans aged in their 90s - are back in Normandy to pay tribute to the nearly 160,000 troops from Britain, the US, Canada and elsewhere who landed there to bring freedom.
