It is high time for the peoples of Europe to understand that the Great Victory is a common asset. This was stated by the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, at a ceremonial meeting on the occasion of Victory Day, as reported by a BELTA correspondent. "It is high time for the peoples of Europe to understand that the Great Victory is our common asset. Thanks to it, as well as to the political, economic, and military power of the Soviet Union, peace was ensured on the Eurasian continent for many decades," noted Alexander Lukashenko.

• Lukashenko: Belarus will continue to identify and bring to justice those involved in Nazi atrocities
• Lukashenko: For Belarusians, the truth and memory of the war are stronger than time
• "We must stop the deranged politicians." Lukashenko addressed the peoples of near and far abroad

He recalled that despite ideological disagreements and geopolitical struggles in the post-war period, world players still managed to reach agreements. "In the conditions of the Cold War, the opposing sides took real steps towards détente based on a balance of power. International organizations served as real platforms for negotiations and contributed to maintaining peace and strengthening security on the planet. But with the collapse of the USSR, the lessons of the war were forgotten," stated the President.
