Russian President Vladimir Putin presided over the celebratory military parade. “Victory Day” is May 9, which falls on the day the Soviet Union defeated the Nazi army in World War II, and claims that Western countries are behind the spread of the conflict worldwide. But he will never allow anyone to threaten Russia.
Putin also accused Western leaders of being “arrogant” and forgetting the Soviet Union’s role in defeating the Nazis.
“We know what such ambitions will lead to. Russia will do everything possible to prevent the conflict from spreading to the entire world.” Putin spoke at a military parade in Red Square in central Moscow. Among the snow that falls in May
“But at the same time We will not let anyone intimidate us. Our strategic forces are ready to intervene at any time.”
Putin sent troops to invade Ukraine on February 24, 2022, saying it was a fight once morest Western threats that have insulted Russia since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, with the aim of encroaching increasingly on Russia’s sphere of influence.
On the other hand, the kyiv government and the West accuse Russia of intending to seize neighboring territories by force, unlike the colonialists. and announced that he would submit defeat to Moscow He now controls regarding 18% of Ukraine’s territory, including Crimea and four regions of eastern Ukraine.
Russia declared that These territories were previously part of the Russian Empire. and has now been “annexed” to become part of Russia.
The Soviet Union lost 27 million people as a result of World War II, including millions in Ukraine. But they ultimately succeeded in pushing the Nazi army back towards Berlin. This led to Adolf Hitler’s suicide and the Soviet flag being raised over the Reichstag parliament building in 1945.
“The West wants to forget the lessons of the Second World War. » Putin said, adding that Russia congratulated all allies who played a role in the defeat of Nazi Germany. He also mentions that “China” opposed Japanese militarism.
The unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany took place at 11:01 p.m. on May 8, 1945, a day that the French, British and American governments designated as “Victory in Europe Day”, as Moscow was already entering a new day . May 9 is therefore considered Victory Day of the Soviet Union.

However, Russia also brought its Yars strategic intercontinental ballistic missile to the parade. which a Russian TV news anchor described as “It has the potential to be reliable once morest any target anywhere on the planet.”
The only foreign guests present at the ceremony were the leaders of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Cuba, Laos and Guinea-Bissau. But there is no shadow of Western leaders.
