President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko will take part in Victory Day celebrations in Moscow at the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In his talk with SB TV and Alfa Radio, a deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly, Director General of the National Library of Belarus Vadim Gigin, explained the deep meaning of this visit.
The presence of the Belarusian leader on Red Square is a symbol of the indestructible unity of the two peoples, and the expert explained, “The parade in Moscow is an act of solidarity with our fraternal Russian people. The fact that our President will be present on Red Square and then return to Minsk for the celebrations is a relay race in memory of generations. The feeling of belonging to a single victorious nation is our national idea.”
Mr. Gigin emphasised that Westerners are afraid of truth and solidarity, the symbol of which is Victory Day. “They are also afraid that nations will choose the future based on their own experience. Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, Poles were all united in the Victory, and that’s what we should be proud of,” he said.
Commenting on the statements of some fugitives about possible threats to security and Zelenskyy’s drones, the MP recalled that, in the hardest days of NATO bombings in 1999, the President of Belarus was the only world leader who flew to Belgrade.
“Zelenskyy is actually betraying the memory of his ancestors who fought during the Great Patriotic War, but it’s his personal choice,” Mr. Gigin concluded.
