On June 22, a nationwide minute of silence will be announced in Belarus

19.06.2026

On June 22, at 12:00 PM, a nationwide minute of silence will be announced in memory of those who died in the Great Patriotic War.

Corresponding audio and video clips will be broadcast on republican and local TV and radio channels.

To enable everyone to join the Minute of Silence, the clips will be broadcast simultaneously and universally on outdoor screens (displays, boards, media facades), through public address systems (radio nodes, radio networks) of shopping centers, train stations (stations, airports), border crossing points, and other public places where such technical capabilities exist.

At the same time, church bells will ring in unison, military units will hold formations with lowered banners to mournful music, and on transport, including the metro, announcements will be made to passengers via radio communication at their arrival (waiting) points, as well as horns of departing (arrived) trains.
