Tanks, planes, submarines - all this was created by people with a steel character. Soviet people,” the Belarusian leader stressed.
“It is also right that in this anniversary year we dedicated it to the young heirs of the winners - our youth. I am convinced that our Forum, traditionally held under the auspices of the Council of the Republic and the Federation Council, brought together enterprising, talented and dedicated people. Thank you for the support and for large-scale projects proposed by young people, which is especially important. After all, young people play a crucial role in shaping the future of our countries.

Today’s young people are growing up in a rapidly changing world where an open hybrid war is being waged against our nations, our history, traditional values and ideals. “Therefore, we need to protect the younger generation from false ideas. We must confidently show them what we had to go through on the path to sovereignty and safety in our countries.It is important to tell young people the truth about our past, encourage active citizenship, teach responsibility and tell them to be proud of our history. It is more important than ever to speak up and speak out about our heroes and the historical truth,” the president noted.
