Soviet Red Army

BELGRADE - Serbian Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Goran Vesic said on Friday he expected the wrecks of 21 Nazi German warships to be cleared from the bottom of the Danube by the end of this year to restore full navigability of the river near Prahovo, eastern Serbia.

The ships were sunk by the Nazis near the Port of Prahovo as WWII was drawing to a close.

This was stated by the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The ovation took place shortly after Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, delivered an address to the parliament on Friday, when the assembly's speaker, Anthony Rota, called lawmakers' attention to 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka, whom he described as a "war hero" who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.

The selling points of the charming bed-and-breakfast are its century-old buildings, its spacious rooms and its proximity to Russia, a short cross-country ski trip to the east.

The town of Berane unveiled a bust of the Soviet Red Army general Georgy Zhukov, which was donated by Russia, describing it as a symbol of "freedom and anti-fascism".
