Ukrainians fought against Nazism alongside dozens of other nations, Zelensky stresses.
President Volodymyr Zelensky noted that Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation is marked in order to remember the cost of peace.
That's according to the president's statement posted on his Office's Facebook page.
The head of state explained that the commemoration on May 8 of those killed in WWII is called upon "to preserve and understand history more fully because it is common, one for all."
"That's in order to never forget that Nazism was absolute evil. And any of those who try to justify it deserves only condemnation. Do not forget that Ukrainians fought against Nazism alongside dozens of nations," the president added.
"And it was definitely not for the war to take our people's lives 76 years later," Zelensky stressed.

"Therefore, international institutions and rules were set up to maintain global peace. Respecting them is the duty of all nations, especially state leaders and other politicians. But in order to never forget that peace could be lost extremely easily. And this is real happiness when it's possible to restore it," Zelensky said.
