President awards 9 Belarusian settlements with pennants

Belarus will bring to justice Nazis involved in atrocities, regardless of personalities and statute of limitations. Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a solemn meeting on the occasion of Victory Day. The truth about the crimes of nazism serves as a serious warning to humanity, and the preservation of historical memory takes on special importance, the Head of State noted. "It is high time the nations of Europe understood that the Great Victory is our common legacy. Thanks to this victory and to the political, economic, and military might of the Soviet Union peace on the European continent was secured for many decades", the President said. Today there is a lot of discussions about nuclear weapons are going on today. Some are starting to speculate whether Lukashenko will use these nuclear weapons or not. "Listen, these are weapons of deterrence, weapons of defense. Nobody will launch an offensive with these weapons. Feel free to draw conclusions out of it", summed up Aleksandr Lukashenko. Paying tribute to the military and labor feat of compatriots during the war, the head of state awarded the pennant ‘For valor and perseverance during the Great Patriotic War' to 9 Belarusian settlements that most selflessly fought against the enemy.
