“Nothing is more important now than your military task. The country's security depends on you today. The future of our State and our people depends on you”, he declared to the soldiers, including hundreds who participated in the offensive in Ukraine.
“Fulfill your military missions with honor, fight for Russia,” he added, before calling out: “For Russia, for our courageous Armed Forces, for victory! Hurray!”
“Western Elites”
Putin also criticized “globalized Western elites”, accused of leading people into confrontations and “provoking bloody conflicts”.

“Their goal, and there is nothing new here, is to achieve the collapse and destruction of our country,” said the Russian president, who justifies the offensive against Ukraine as a measure to defend Russia in the face of supposed Western aggression.
After the president's brief speech, thousands of soldiers paraded through Moscow's emblematic Red Square, waving Russian and Soviet flags.
The celebrations, organized each year to celebrate the victory against Nazi Germany in 1945, take place this year in the shadow of Moscow's offensive in Ukraine, marked by setbacks suffered by the Russian army on the battlefield.
