Recall, Ilya Kiva previously said that the HLS will organize a celebration on May 9 across Ukraine on its own.
On May 9 in Ukraine at the state level we celebrate the Day of victory over Nazism in World War II.
In the late afternoon of May 8, 1945 at 22:43 CET in Berlin, representatives of Nazi Germany, allies and the USSR signed the German Surrender Act. In the Moscow time, this happened on May 9 at 12:43.
That is why the remembrance of the victims of the Second World War is celebrated in the post-Soviet countries on May 9 and in Europe – 8. Since 2015, the Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation on May 8 began to be celebrated in Ukraine.
This year in Ukraine, the massive events of May 8 and 9 were limited due to quarantine due to coronavirus.
