Almost eight decades have passed since our parents and grandparents put an end to the ‘brown plague’ at the cost of huge sacrifices and hardships. However, today we have to confront the ideological heirs of the Nazis – neo-Nazis and their accomplices who ruined thousands of human lives.”
“Russia highly appreciates an active participation of Belarusian friends in ensuring the security of the Union State. I am sure that – by joining efforts and relying on the good traditions of fraternal friendship and mutual assistance – Russians and Belarusians, who were hardened in the harsh war years, will be able to overcome any challenges," the Russian leader noted. He asked to convey the words of sincere gratitude, as well as wishes of good health, well-being and longevity to all veterans who live in Belarus.

With deep respect and pride we remember our fathers and grandfathers who fought shoulder to shoulder on the front, demonstrating high standards of courage, patriotism and indomitable will, together bringing the long-awaited Victory closer. I am convinced that the friendship and brotherhood of our peoples, which have passed through the hardest trials of the war years, will continue to contribute to the strengthening and development of fruitful relations between Turkmenistan and the Republic of Belarus."
