Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in the Second World War

8.5.2024

Ukraine celebrates the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in the Second World War.

May 8 is the starting point of the end of the war, the victory over the terrible evil of Nazism, a reminder of the catastrophe of the war, and not of the triumph of some nations over others.

On May 8, the Day of Remembrance and Victory, Ukraine honors everyone who fought against Nazism.

The purpose of this commemorative day is to remind once again about the innocent victims of the war, about the senselessly destroyed people as a result of hostilities, about the terrible war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Nations had to reconcile in order to prevent similar events from happening again.

The victory is the result of titanic efforts of dozens of states and hundreds of peoples.

Even now, Ukrainians defend Europe with weapons in their hands and give a chance to build a more lasting peace and create a new global security system.

Today, under conditions of aggression, the only way to recover is to defeat the aggressor!
