The war in Ukraine hurts and obscures the collective memory of the peoples who, under the leadership of the USSR and the Red Army, contributed so decisively to the victory against the fascist war machine, stresses the Pancyprian Peace Council, which notes that the greatest honour for the millions of heroic dead is the struggle to eradicate fascism and the struggle for world peace.
In a statement on the occasion of 9 May, the day of the Anti-Fascist Victory, the WCC said that this year the anniversary of the Anti-Fascist Victory is being commemorated under particularly negative circumstances, adding that "the conflicts raging and those underlying in various parts of our planet make the messages of 9 May and the peoples' desire for peace even more urgent."
The Pancyprian Peace Council commemorates May 9, which it says "left an indelible message that resistance to fascism is a necessary condition for peace," and notes that "the greatest honour for the millions of heroic dead is the struggle to eradicate fascism, the struggle for world peace."
"This year again, 77 years after the end of World War II, we commemorate the Victory against fascism, Nazism and militarism, and our memory turns to the millions of dead soldiers, civilians and victims of the Holocaust," he concludes.
