Россия и другие бывшие советские республики отмечают День Победы

Россия и другие бывшие советские республики в субботу (9 мая) отмечают День Победы.

Президент России Владимир Путин возложил красные розы к Вечному огню у могилы Неизвестного солдата в Александровском саду Кремля, отдав дань уважения погибшим во время Великой Отечественной войны Советского Союза 1941-1945 годов против нацистской Германии, известной как Вторая мировая война.

Позже российский президент провел смотр марша президентского полка кремлевской комендатуры.

Выступая перед полком, Путин подчеркнул, что "75 лет назад, в мае 1945 года, Красная Армия положила конец трагедии XX века, с триумфом завершила самую жестокую в истории битву. Она была справедливой, героической и жертвенной для всего советского народа - именно он сокрушил нацизм, разгромил эту чудовищную силу, которая принесла миллионам людей смерть, горе и страдания".

"Уверен, благодарный мир через десятилетия и века будет помнить об этом подвиге, а для народа России стойкость, воля и сплочённость поколения победителей навсегда останутся высшим примером священного отношения к родной земле, к родной стране."

В этом году массовые мероприятия по случаю Дня Победы были отложены из-за пандемии коронавируса.

Однако президент России Владимир Путин пообещал, что 75-летие Победы Советского Союза над фашистской Германией в Великой Отечественной войне 1941-1945 годов будет отмечаться широко и достойно в конце года военным парадом на Красной площади и маршем Бессмертного полка.

Небольшие торжества были проведены и в других бывших советских республиках. В Беларуси же прошел как обычно полный военный парад.

Andrii Parubiy shot dead in Lviv - a "shot fired at the heart of Ukraine"

The former speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, Andriy Parubiy, has been shot dead in the Ukrainian western city of Lviv. Police received reports of the shooting in the Frankivsk district of Lviv, western Ukraine, at around midday local time on Saturday. Unconfirmed reports suggest he was shot multiple times by a gunman dressed as a courier on an e-bike. Parubiy, 54, rose to prominence during Ukraine's Euromaidan movement, which advocated for closer ties with the EU and brought down pro-Russian former President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described it as a "terrible murder" and offered his condolences. Parubiy was a pivotal figure in the Euromaidan movement, which began after the Ukrainian government refused to sign an association agreement with the EU in late 2013. He later became secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, during a period when pro-Russian separatists began fighting in eastern Ukraine - and when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the annexation of the Crimea peninsula. Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Parubiy joined Ukraine's territorial defence. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described Parubiy as "a patriot and statesman who made an enormous contribution to the defence of Ukraine's freedom, independence and sovereignty". Sybiha added: "He was a man who rightfully belongs in the history books." Former President Petro Poroshenko said the killing of Parubiy was "a shot fired at the heart of Ukraine".
