May 8 — Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in the Second World War 1939–1945

On this day, Ukraine, together with the civilized world, honors the memory of all those whose lives were taken by the Second World War. We remember the millions of people who endured occupation, loss, the pain of separation, and the horrific consequences of war.

This is a day not for loud words, but for quiet gratitude and remembrance. We remember those who fought for peace, those who never returned home, and the generations whose destinies were forever changed by the war.

Today, this day holds a special meaning for Ukrainians. Once again, every day, we are fighting for the right to live in our own state, to protect our native land, our loved ones, and the future of Ukraine.

We remember the heroic deeds of past generations and express our gratitude to those who stand in defense of our country today.

Eternal memory to those who perished in the Second World War.

Honor and gratitude to the defenders of Ukraine.

We remember. We prevail.
