Lukashenko: we must not forget the lessons of the Great Patriotic War

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said the lessons of the Great Patriotic War must be learned at a parade held in Minsk in honor of Victory Day, and emphasized the inadmissibility of the eternal lessons of the Great Patriotic War.

"New times have not brought mankind deliverance from wars. Today, we see that the tragic lessons of the war have been forgotten, once again the power of law is not prevailing, but the right of force, shells are exploding again, raging fires, and people are dying. The world and Europe are approaching a dangerous point, and now more than ever it is important to remember the lessons of the Great Patriotic War for the politicians and leaders, and the people," Tass quotes him as saying.

"The most important of these lessons is that there is nothing more important than peace and no ambition, no payments, no interest is worth sacrificing human lives," Lukashenko said.
