On May 9th, Belarus marked the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War with a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the Victory Monument in Minsk. President Alexander Lukashenko led the commemorations, laying the first wreath as a sign of memory and honor to those who shed their blood for the homeland’s independence.
The ceremony brought together veterans, military personnel, religious leaders, diplomats, and families—including young Belarusians carrying portraits of their heroic ancestors. In a nation that lost every third citizen during the war—three million people—the day served as a powerful reminder of the price of peace.
President Lukashenko’s address emphasised the sacred duty to preserve historical truth against attempts to rewrite the past, warned against the resurgence of fascist ideology in new forms, and thanked the living veterans for their immortal feat. The event concluded with a minute of silence, the national anthem, and an artillery salute—honouring the victors who secured the right to life and independence for future generations.
