They want to finally move the Victory Day over Nazism in Ukraine from May 9 to May 8

/ Events /

The Verkhovna Rada registered a draft law on the refusal to celebrate Victory Day on May 9. Instead, they propose to implement the annual Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism on May 8.

The corresponding document was created by filed more than 30 deputies from various factions for consideration by the parliament. 

The authors of the draft law emphasize that "this victory is celebrated every year in European countries on May 8 - the Day of the Surrender of Nazi Germany; on the same day, throughout Europe, the memory of those who died in the Second World War is honored." 

At the same time, the expediency of such a decision is associated with the fact that the Soviet regime deliberately "set a date for celebrating the victory separate from the rest of Europe", and Russia uses it as a "propaganda tool for achieving political goals, inciting wars, and justifying its own crimes against humanity."

In Lithuania, it was proposed to introduce a penalty for the symbol Z - LRT

It is worth noting that in Ukraine there are currently both options: Victory Day over Nazism in the Second World War is celebrated on May 9, and May 8 is the Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation.
