In an 11 -minute speech delivered from a podium near Lenin’s mausoleum, as an introduction to the traditional parade on May 9, in Red Square, Moscow, the Russian president further elevated Russia’s heroism and patriotism.

He rarely made allusions to the war he started in Ukraine on February 24, reiterating what motivated him to act in this way, including lies, such as the fact that President Volodymyr Zelensky’s government was loyal to Nazi.

I am addressing our armed forces: you are fighting for the country, for its future. […] There is no place in the world for enforcers, punishers and Nazis.

The Kremlin master also reiterated that the Ukrainian authorities were preparing an attack against pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country, wanting to seize the atomic bomb and supported by NATO. A completely unacceptable threat has developed, directly on our borders he begged.

The Russian president, however, spoke about the extreme sacrifice of men and women in uniform, who have killed in Ukraine by the hundreds, according to an analysis already dated by the Kremlin, or even thousands, according to in Ukrainian and Western intelligence services. .

Every death of a soldier or an officer is a suffering for usdid he declare. The State will do everything to take care of these families.

Vladimir Putin did not comment on the evolution of the conflict or any indication of its duration or developments that might convince him to end it.

An armored vehicle was driving in Red Square.  The soldiers stationed there salute the military.

The Russian president ended his speech with a rallying cry to the soldiers gathered under the rostrum. For Russia, for victory, hooray!he launched, the soldiers answering him in the red square hooray! at once.

After his speech, 11,000 soldiers, some returning from the Ukrainian front, as well as dozens of vehicles, including strategic missile launchers and tanks, marched beyond the crowd gathered in Red Square.

The aerial part of the show, where fighters will form a “Z” above the Russian capital, however had to be canceled due to bad weather.

Since Vladimir Putin took office in 2000, the traditional parade on May 9 has celebrated both the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany and Russia’s renewed power after the embarrassment of the fall ofUSSR.
