Russian President Vladimir Putin presided over a scaled-back Victory Day parade in Moscow’s Red Square to commemorate the 79th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany. Held under heightened security due to ongoing tensions with Ukraine, the event featured a reduced display of military hardware and the cancellation of the traditional aerial flypast. During his speech, Putin framed the current conflict in Ukraine as a defensive struggle against Western provocation, asserting that Russia’s strategic forces remain in a state of combat readiness.
- The parade was significantly smaller than in pre-war years, featuring a single vintage T-34 tank rather than a column of modern main battle tanks.
- High-level security measures were implemented across Moscow following recent drone strikes and threats of Ukrainian attacks on Russian infrastructure.
- Victory Day celebrations and “Immortal Regiment” marches were canceled in several Russian regions and occupied territories for safety reasons.
- In his address, President Putin accused Western nations of attempting to contain Russia and distorting the history of the Second World War.
- Foreign dignitaries in attendance included leaders from Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Cuba, Laos, and Guinea-Bissau.
