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."
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.
