This day was established by the Law of Ukraine in 2023 as a sign of solidarity with Europe in remembering that terrible tragedy in the history of mankind. The common symbol of remembrance of World War II is Remembrance Poppy.
This symbol is also our national sign of remembrance of those who defended and defend the Ukrainian land today, who gave their lives for our future.
Unfortunately, even today, 80 years after the end of that war, the grandchildren of gray-haired veterans, following the exploits of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers, are forced to defend the territorial integrity and independence of our state with weapons in their hands.
Today, we pay tribute to those who died on the fronts and to the liberators of World War II, remembering thousands of victims and true patriots - servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Volunteer formations of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
And in 2025, Ukraine will celebrate the Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation in the conditions of a full-scale war, which was started by Russia.
