Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin remembers the Soviet victory in World War II in front of 9,000 soldiers. He accuses the West of falsifying the history of victory.
Russian President Vladimir Putin once again made accusations against the West at the military parade marking the 79th anniversary of the victory over Hitler’s Germany. He said on Thursday in Moscow that he was trying to distort the memory of the Soviet victory.
The truth disturbs “those who base their colonial politics on hypocrisy and lies,” said the Kremlin chief. “Revanchism, the mockery of history, the effort to justify today’s Nazi imitators – this is part of the general policy of Western elites to always spark new regional conflicts, ethnic or religious conflicts.”
Putin usually accuses Ukraine of following the Nazis, which he has been waging war on for two years. He also brings the countries that support Ukraine into this proximity. Putin complained that Soviet memorials were being torn down in many countries.
More than 9,000 soldiers on parade
In front of the more than 9,000 soldiers who attended, the President emphasized Russia’s defense capabilities. “We don’t allow anyone to threaten us,” he said. He called the soldiers fighting in Ukraine heroes.
The president’s speech was followed by the advance of the soldiers. The technology on display included mobile launch pads for the RS-24 Jars strategic nuclear missiles. Unlike last year, there was also a flyover by Russian fighter jets despite the cold weather with snow.
