Vladimir Putin has claimed ‘war is being waged againstMoscow and other Russian cities are today hosting military parades and other festivities to mark Victory Day, Russia’s biggest secular holiday that this year has been significantly overshadowed by the war inDuring his speech, the Russian president said the war in Ukraine had placed the global community ‘at a breaking point’, and compared the conflict to the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union.
Putin claimed Russia wants to see a ‘peaceful future’, and accused Western elites of sowing the seeds of ‘hatred and Russophobia’. The speech, followed by a huge military parade across Red Square, was taking place following a wave of strikes inside Russia this month – including a purported drone attack on the Kremlin citadel itself less than a week ago.
Meanwhile, Kremlin forces launched 25 missiles overnight in a wave of attacks across Ukraine, the Ukrainian air force said, adding that air defense had successfully destroyed 23 of them.
