: Should Ukraine continue to celebrate the Soviet Victory Day (May 9) as a national holiday?
Victory Day in Ukraine has another side to it - it addresses the need for a rememberance day to all those who fought (on whatever side), suffered losses or died.
The answer - NO Ukraine should not celebrate Victory Day on the 9th May (it was not a victory for Ukraine!)however, the day should be replaced by another as a general rememberance day.
