There were no tanks, and no parade of soldiers and veterans, in the heart of Moscow to mark the 75th anniversary of victory in World War Two.

The Red Square 9 May parade was cancelled because of the pandemic but in neighbouring Belarus the parade went ahead in the centre of the capital Minsk, with a concert and festive fireworks planned as part of the programme.

Noticed the article stated that the European Union will help Belarus BUT only if the nation knuckles under and follows the WHO guidelines. Belarus needs to tell the EU to take its money and stuff it.
