It is noted in particular:

"May 1945 will forever remain in history as a symbol of the triumph of courage and unity.

The Great Victory won at the cost of incredible sacrifices, suffering and heroism became an example of the unbending will of the peoples who fought for freedom. We will be eternally grateful to those who sparing no life brought this day closer - at the front, in the rear, in every corner of our common homeland."
