On May 8-9, Ukraine traditionally commemorates the Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation and the Day of Victory over Nazism in the Second World War. These days it is important to recall the remarkable role of Ukrainians in the victory of the United Nations in World War II, to express respect for all fighters against Nazism, to commemorate the memory of the fallen soldiers, victims of war, war crimes, deportations and crimes against humanity committed in these years

On May 8, 1945, the Act on the surrender of Germany came into force. This date makes it possible to assess the contribution of the Ukrainian people to the course and end of the Second World War, to summarize its large-scale devastating consequences for Ukraine, as well as to make vital lessons for our country today.
