The March of the "Immortal regiment" will take place on July 26, if the epidemiological situation in the country contributes to this.
The President assured that the authorities will carefully look at the development of the situation and assess possible risks.
"Of course, if, according to experts, it is impossible to ensure full security, we will make a decision on the possible postponement of the March of the "Immortal regiment" to other, later dates.

Recall that on May 9, the traditional military parade and March of the Immortal regiment were canceled due to the unfavorable situation on COVID-19.
