As days of remembrance and reconciliation of May 8 and 9 were told this at the UN plenary session of 22 November of 2004.
The UN member states are asked to "celebrate either or both days appropriately" each year in honor of all victims of the Second World War.
In several countries in Western Europe, Liberation Day is celebrated on May 8th .
In the Ukraine of May 8 as a national is Remembrance Day ( Ukrainian День пам'яті та примирення ) one day before the "Day of Victory over Nazism in World War II" ( Ukrainian День перемоги над нацизмом у Другій світовій війні ) on May 9 committed. The perception of this postponed day of remembrance should create a distance to Soviet traditions. Soviet symbols (like Nazi ones) are not only banned on Remembrance Day in Ukraine, the Nazi regime, but also the Communist regime, are condemned.
