Although Vladimir Putin decided to postpone the marking of Nazi liberation, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko criticized the WHO warnings and celebrated with a military parade and without “social distance”.
Thousands of people gathered in central Minsk to see soldiers, military departments, and fighter jets appear as part of the 75th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s victory.
Lukashenko has repeatedly denied the danger of the crown and claimed that a sauna bath or glass of vodka is what is needed to keep the virus away.
In Belarus, restaurants have always been open, schools and universities have functioned as usual, and the country’s soccer series has played as usual during the spring, with spectators. Even President Lukashenko, who has been in power since 1994, has played ice hockey, claiming that “the virus does not survive on an ice rink.”

Lukashenko: Do not die of crown in Belarus
The WHO (World Health Organization) has advised Belarus to have large human collections, such as Victory Day, reports the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
So far 22,052 Belarusians are crown-infected and 126 people have died. According to Radio Free Europe, experts believe there are big dark figures. Journalist Olga Tsvetkova tells the Kiev Post that the authorities are hiding the truth.
President Lukashenko described the crown measures as a “global psychosis”. He also addressed this in his speech on Victory Day:
“In this crazy and disoriented world, there will be people who will condemn us for the time and place of this sacred act,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko, adding that “we had no choice.”

Belarus defies WHO warnings: continuous football, with spectators
Belarus was hit hard during World War II. German troops passed through Belarus on their way to Moscow. They lost a quarter of their population.
Russia should also have had a great mark on the 75th anniversary of the victory over the Nazis, but Vladimir Putin decided a few weeks ago that this should be moved to early September, to prevent crown infection.
“Our military parade in Minsk will be the only one in the former Soviet Union held in honor of all the Soviet days that liberated the world from Nazism,” Lukashenko said in his speech.

3,000 soldiers and 150 military vehicles paraded through the streets of Minsk, according to the Ekho Moscow radio station. Spectators included some who had mouthwash, but there was no indication of maintaining “social distance,” according to Radio Free Europe.
“People had no choice but to attend the parade, at least not students and those who work in public,” editor-in-chief Svetlana Kalinkina of Belorusskij Partizan tells Ekho Moscow.
– But I think most people in Belarus understand that it is wrong to do parades at the time, says Kalinkina.
