The congratulatory message by the President of Russia highlights, in particular, that the Victory Day is a sacred holiday, the one that will always symbolise heroism and unity of those nations who rose up to fight for their fatherland and saved the world from fascism.

Vladimir Putin stressed that general history must not be revised and tragic mistakes of the past must not be repeated. Our common duty is to carefully cherish the memory of those who died in the Great Patriotic War and render all possible care to the veterans who are still with us.

The Russian President expressed confidence that during joint struggles the ties of friendship and brotherhood will go on serving as a basis for the subsequent improvement of inter-state relations and will promote the development of integration processes in the Eurasian space.

Vladimir Putin expressed his sincere gratitude to all war veterans and home-front workers, wished them good health and longevity.
