A wreath-laying ceremony at a Soviet war memorial in Chisinau in the former Soviet republic of Moldova has marked 70 years since the Soviet Union came under attack by Nazi Germany.

Veterans, officials and diplomats remembered some 27 million Soviet people who gave their lives to crush Nazism in the ferocious war which lasted 1,418 days.

There have been similar commemorations in other parts of the former USSR and also in many countries in Europe.
