Quote: "This year, taking into account the fact that we are under the conditions of the martial law decree, mass events, from an organisational point of view, will not be held for the purpose of additional security. We believe that today it is not entirely appropriate and dangerous."

Details: At the same time, Saldo said that residents of the occupied part of the oblast will go to the memorial sites on their own initiative on Victory Day. Allegedly, that is why memorials and monuments in the territory of the oblast are now "being put in order".
