US EditionPutin, Xi and friendly world leaders celebrate Russia’s Victory Day at Moscow Parade
- Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted the May 9 Victory Day parade in Moscow on Friday, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.
- The event occurred amid Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, with intensified diplomatic tensions including airspace closures by Baltic states blocking diplomatic flights to Moscow.
- Putin was joined by several friendly world leaders such as Brazil's Lula da Silva, Egypt's el-Sisi, Serbia's Vucic, Venezuela's Maduro, and Palestinian Authority President Abbas, marking a broader guestlist than last year.
- Russian state media reported that approximately 11,500 troops took part in the event alongside both modern and historical tanks, while President Putin announced a three-day ceasefire unilaterally around the anniversary, a move that Ukraine quickly dismissed and accused of being violated multiple times.
- The parade served as a choreographed display aimed to signal Russia's resilience despite Western isolation, while Ukraine and its allies condemned the event and endorsed a tribunal to investigate crimes of aggression.
