The message of congratulations reads, in particular:

“This remarkable, shared holiday is a tribute to veterans, whose magnificent feats in the Great Patriotic War enabled us to defeat Nazism and to bring peace and freedom to Europe.

The memory of our glorious common history, of surviving the hard trials of war, provides us with a unique opportunity to work together, through close collaboration and partnership, to ensure the effective and dynamic development of our bilateral cooperation.”
