I always hear from my friend Max in the Ukraine on May 9th, as that is the day that the Soviets had their own surrender in 1945. Today I got an email saying that he will not attend this year's Victory celebration since the new Pro-Russian government has decreed that the Red flag should be displayed this year with the blue and white flag of Ukraine.
V-E Day is still cause for celebration in the USA and the nations in Europe that were freed from Nazi occupation.
