Belarus decided not to cancel the Victory Parade on May 9

In Belarus, preparations continue for the Victory Parade, which is held annually on May 9. The Ministry of Defense believes that the epidemiological situation in the country allows such a massive event to be held, despite the coronavirus pandemic. 

The Minister of Defense of Belarus Viktor Khrenin noted that the parade is an integral part of the combat training of troops, “a tribute to the heroism and resilience of the people, the selfless struggle against the fascist invaders.”

Earlier, President Alexander Lukashenko was going to attend the Victory Parade, which was to be held in Moscow, but last week Vladimir Putin said that the festive event was postponed due to the difficult situation due to the coronavirus.

Note that in Belarus, the number of people infected with coronavirus increased by almost a third and amounted to 6 people. This was reported by the country’s health ministry. “264 patients with a number of chronic diseases with identified coronavirus infection have died,” the Ministry of Health said.
