Putin “Back to the World stage” on the Victory Day parade

Vladimir Putin led the memory of Russia’s Victory Day with a parade on Red Square, against the background of increased security after Ukrainian strikes of Moscow.

His Chinese Jinping has joined the Russian president as he told thousands of soldiers that Russia remembered World War II lessons.

He also used his speech to bind the war with today’s full -scale invasion of Ukraine and said that all Russia is behind what he called the “special military operation” – now he is in his fourth year.

Russia’s BBC Monitoring Vitaly Shevchenko editor is thinking about events during the day.
