Russia's war against Ukraine and the memory of World War II

insidethegatesOn May 8-9, Ukraine will mark the Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation and the Day of Victory over Nazism and the end of World War II in Europe. This year we will remember the catastrophe of the Second World War in the conditions of full-scale military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

It will be harder for us than ever to talk to children about those times and events. We will never be able to talk only about the Second World War without drawing parallels with modern tragic events. Each of us has his own story, his own memories, his own pain and a common goal and dream

We have decided to make some useful links for you, which we hope will help you prepare for the memorable days.
