Time against Donald Trump from Moscow: Which army did more at the time?
Russia celebrates the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany every May 9th. There is traditionally a large military parade on the red place in Moscow. However, Putin indirectly contradicted the US President. He emphasized that the soldiers of the Soviet Army had made the decisive part of victory in Hitler-Germany in World War II. Trump had previously described the contribution of the US Army as crucial.
Because of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, official representatives of the Allies stayed away from the celebrations. Slovak Robert Fico in Moscow is the only head of government of an EU and NATO country. The Serbian head of state Aleksandar Vucic also came to the parade. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow praised the two heads of state for their visit. Especially when it comes to Vucic and Fico, “this is simply an act of heroism”, to take part in the military spectacle, Peskow said with a view to warnings from Brussels.
