Zelenskiy's Ukraine: WWII Victory Day and Russia's Neo-Nazism

TL;DR Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has submitted a bill to parliament to officially make May 8 a day of remembrance and victory in Ukraine, while May 9 will become Europe Day. Zelenskiy said the move would return Ukraine to an honest history without ideological influences and bring the country closer to Europe. He also warned against the "modern Russia" pursuing the same goal as the Nazis of "enslavement and destruction". May 9 is one of Russia's most important national events, but Zelenskiy said it was time to defeat "evil" together to ensure that no one ever enslaves other peoples or destroys other countries again.
