Commemorative ceremonies have been held across Eastern and Central Europe to honor victims and veterans of World War II and related historical conflicts.

In Belarus, ceremonies in Mohylev honored over 140 civilians killed by Nazi forces during the Great Patriotic War, following the recovery of remains in the Kazimirowski Forest. 

In Poland, tributes marked several historical milestones. In Trawniki, ceremonies commemorated the 82nd anniversary of a battle involving Home Army (Armia Krajowa) soldiers, featuring the unveiling of memorial plaques for General Antoni Hedda ‘Szary’ and the soldiers. In Mysłowice, authorities and families gathered to remember six Silesian Uprising veterans who were executed by German forces in September 1939, utilizing a recently renovated obelisk as a memorial.
