Victory in Europe Day is the day celebrating the formal acceptance by the Allies of Germany's unconditional surrender of its armed forces on Tuesday, May 8, 1945. Thus, the day marks the official end of World War II in Europe. Russia and some former Soviet countries, however, celebrate the occasion on May 9, since Germany's surrender entered into force at 23:01 on May 8 Central European Summer Time. This corresponded with 00:01 on May 9 in Moscow Time.
