The leadership of the Vitebsk region sent congratulations to veterans and residents of the region on Victory Day

Dear veterans of the Great Patriotic War! Respected residents of the region!

Congratulations on Victory Day!

The significance of this event does not fade with time, but rather highlights its greatness and role in world and national history even more vividly. This holiday embodies pain and tears of joy, the memory of the heart, carefully preserved in families. The feat of front-line soldiers, partisans, underground fighters, and home front workers is forever inscribed in history as a symbol of national glory and pride.

The fiery storm of battles did not bypass Vitebsk region. The region lost every third resident.

From the very first days of the war, it became clear: our people will never surrender to the enemy. German divisions met their inglorious end on the battlefields, fully experiencing the strength of character and greatness of spirit of the Soviet people.

The Victory won by the older generation provides moral guidelines and a foundation for creation. The memory of the past, of the severe trials endured, urges us towards the noble goals of effective and dynamic development of a sovereign state.

The veterans who remain in service are a moral support for contemporaries, whose duty is to protect the freedom and independence gifted to us.

We sincerely wish you health, happiness, well-being, high spirits, and kindness! Peace and prosperity to our country! Happy Victory Day!
