75 soldiers from the Honour Guard Company of the Moldovan National Army\u00a0were sent to Moscow on June 14 in order to participate to the military parade that will take place on the Red Square. The parade is scheduled for June 24<\/strong>, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the end of the World War II. The announcement<\/a> was made by President Igor Dodon<\/strong> on the social media.<\/p>\n

In his message, Dodon justified the participation of the Moldovan soldiers to the parade as following: “It is worth mentioning that the grandparents of 23 out of 75 soldiers participated in the WWII, so Moldova’s participation means not only a manifestation of solidarity with the countries with which we share a common history. but also a direct connection between generations, preserving the memory of the heroism of our ancestors,”<\/em> said the president.<\/p>\n\n

However, beside the romanticism in the president’s message, there should be also pragmatism to the current situation,\u00a0which Moldovan officials have forgotten about: Russia recorded a total of 569 063<\/strong>\u00a0confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 7 841<\/strong> deaths since the beginning of the pandemic. According to the WHO data<\/a>, there were reported 7 972 newly confirmed cases and 181 deaths\u00a0on Jun 18 only.<\/p>\n

Under these conditions, such a mass event risks to become a cause of a new COVID-19\u00a0“exacerbated spread”<\/span>, said the WHO representative, Catherine Smallwood<\/strong>, during a press conference<\/a> on the current pandemic situation in Russia.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Defence, Alexandru Pinzari,<\/strong> was supposed to offer explanations to the Parliament regarding the fact of sending 75 soldiers to Moscow during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pinzari didn’t show up to the meeting, stating that he was on his way to an outbreak area of the COVID-19 infection. “They are in strict quarantine conditions. I am confident that they will return healthy,”<\/em> the minister declared<\/a>, referring to the 75 Moldovan soldiers.<\/p>\n

The parade to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II has been rescheduled for June 24 after a postponement caused by the pandemic. Usually, the parade is organised on May 9.<\/p>\n
