The authorities of Sovetsk, Kaliningrad region, canceled the celebration of the City Day, which was supposed to take place this weekend. This was reported on the page of the Soviet city district on VKontakte.
“The reason is the tense situation in the war zone and the death of our fellow countrymen who were performing military duty. After the funeral of one of the participants in the special military operation, we consider it extremely unethical and unforgivable in relation to the memory of the fallen and their relatives to joyfully sing and dance,” wrote Grigory Sokolovsky, chairman of the council of local deputies.
The deputies were offered to hold the holiday “in a truncated format», but they refused. “City Day was, is and will be, but the lives of the guys who today defend the interests and integrity of Russia in the fight against the Russophobic collective West cannot be returned,” Sokolovsky explained this decision.
In the comments to the publication of the chairman, a resident of Sovetsk wrote that on September 15, the funeral of Alexei Metezhnev, who died in the war in Ukraine, will be held in the city. Information about parting with him was not published in official sources. » />Russia's losses in the war with Ukraine. Mediazones summary
