The war left unhealed wounds from the monstrous crimes of hitlers cries of their minions, unity our ancestors, their love for the homeland and sincere faith in victory forever became moral guidelines for the grateful generations of the peaceful and independent belarusian state; years later, the truth about the great victory protects our land from the threats of modern times and all of humanity from the revival of the destructive ideas of nazism. The belarusian people.

And today we it is important to preserve historical memory. This is part of our state policy. There is a constant flow of people to the monuments in honor of the heroes of the great patriotic war, and this is no coincidence. This is where the most important words are spoken. The main thing we must do is to preserve this truth and prevent the revival of the terrible past. Dont even try to talk to us from a position of strength. Belarus still stands as an indestructible brez fortress in the path of any enemy. And let the memory.

Victory day is our common holiday, which the soviet people won and gave us the right to independence, the joy of a great victory. The belarusian leader shared today with the president s of the countries of the postsoviet space. A parade took place in moscow red square. This is a tradition that the heroes laid down back in. The victorious fortyfifth year, and even the snow that kept falling from the sky could not extinguish the fiery hearts of the participants in this action. The parade started at 10 00, just exactly with perfect military precision, the weather was a little unlucky, minus two they say that our colleagues, this is the coldest may 9th, but the atmosphere on red square is completely special, because it was here that the the victory parade in 45, it took place in june, though the press stands are less full. Theres simply no room, we cant get up and theres such a second of silence until the main action begins. The first to report on the readiness of the troops is the russian minister of defense, a unique historical fact; from here, from red square in november 1941, after a military parade, when the front line was only 18 km from moscow, the soldiers simply directly left to defend the capital. Troops of the moscow garrison. Ready for the victory parade. Army general shaigu. In total , more than 9 people, 75 pieces of equipment, solemn processions of honor guards, battalions and branches of various troops of the armed forces. You need to understand that you cannot buy tickets for the parade in moscow, only invitees are here, veterans are on the central podium, they are the main characters, there are not as many of these people left as in general those who saw the war. It is important for everyone to preserve the memory of the great patriotic war, the victory, belarus, russia, and we went through this war together, we defended the entire country, and not only the country, but. The whole of europe was liberated from fascism, and today it is necessary to do this again. Now it is clear that there are different political movements, but i think that for people whose grandfathers and greatgrandfathers fought, this is a sacred holiday for everyone. There are three stands in total left, right, central, where the heads of state are located. This year there are eight leaders in the parade. Alexander lukashenko, let us remind you, flew to moscow the day before, the anniversary summit of the Eurasian Economic Union took place here, they left after midnight, but arrived in the kremlin again in the morning. Vladimir putin. Warmly greeted each of my colleagues personally. Then the leaders of the countries joined spectators of the victory parade. In his speech, Vladimir Putin will talk about how the west is trying to distort the truth about world war ii, but it will live on in the stories of millions of families. Revanchism, mockery of history, the desire to justify the current followers of the nazis are part of the whole. World war, and we remember that the fate of humanity was decided in grandiose battles. In the west, we would like to forget the lessons of the Second World War near moscow and leningrad, rzhev, stalingrad, kursk and kharkov, near minsk, smolensk and kiev. Announced a minute of silence, for the victory, hurray, hurray, in front of the veterans and guests again there are foot crews of all Russian Troops from the cadets of the suvorov nakhimov military school to the border. The parade of military equipment was traditionally opened by the legendary t34 tank, the main combat vehicle of the great patriotic war. Tiger armored personnel carriers, triumph and iskander antiaircraft systems. Yars Nuclear Deterrent complex, until recently they did not know whether the knight swifts would fly due to the weather, but they did. The voice of many thousands of the russian army will shout on victory day from the stands, here on the spot, this is an absolutely unique thing in terms of atmosphere, today hundreds of channels will try to broadcast it live, its time. Another important tradition is laying wreaths and flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier together with the heads of other states in the alexander garden. Alexander lukashenko will pay tribute to the memory of fallen heroes. A small magazine approach. Asked questions of the two leaders on the second phase of the response. Belarus does not have Strategic Nuclear weapons, so this time we offered our friends and allies, to take part in one of the stages of this exercise. We conduct them regularly, this time they are carried out in three stages. We spent the first stage, one might say, in a frenzy, but yesterday we decided to synchronize and conduct the second and third stages together. He correctly emphasized, this is not the first time, this is our third training session, well, there have already been dozens of them in russia, so we are synchronizing and the general staffs have already started executing these, yesterday the work was done, yes, so there is nothing unusual here, this is planned work. In general, the latest for two days, belarus and russia live on the same political and social agenda, the ninth of may, a holiday that is written in our family albums and which cost the two nations very dearly. We love the belarusian people very much, these are our dear people, god bless you, you have a wonderful president , we have a wonderful president , they are friends, they work in the name of our states, we will live, work and win, there is no more important holiday in our life, especially those who had veterans in the family, survivors of the siege, god grant that this day, this victory, its like lived as long as possible in the hearts of people all over the world, and so that the whole world would understand, yes, for what and for what . Today russia and belarus are together. This common history, when we already stood shoulder to shoulder, binds us together on many issues stronger than any treaties now, as the descendants of the great victors, an absolute evil that the whole world could not cope with. Katerina krutalevich, daria belousovopetrovskaya, olesya vysotskaya, alexander oleshka, Tv News Agency moscow. The decisive role of the soviet union in the defeat of fascism is undeniable.

There are frames with metal detectors that lead here to victory square, security measures are first of all, but extra things are an additional queue, in order to get through it faster, it is better to take the minimum with you. I also i will say that right now traffic along independence avenue is already blocked, only public transport could move, but after 16 00 it will also take a detour, so please take this into account if you are getting to the city center by public transport. I know what the belarusians have. Its already a tradition to come with the whole family to such a holiday as may 9, bring your children, many come with portraits, photographs of their grandmothers, greatgrandmothers, grandfathers and greatgrandfathers, because their personal stories, their experiences, their pride, their victory, their even defeats, which they talked about, it is from these stories that the whole great victory in may of 1945 is made up, and of course, here are the main guests and of course the main participants in todays celebrations this is ours.
