Russia consistently defends international law, said the Kremlin chief on Sunday during a large military parade with around 12,000 participants in Moscow. At the same time, we will steadfastly defend our national interests and ensure the security of our people.
Putin once again warned against attempts to falsify history and attempts to relativize the deeds of traitors and criminals. Thousands of soldiers then marched across Red Square in an icy wind and a cloudy sky. Tanks and fighter planes were also presented. According to official information, all participants in the parade were vaccinated against the corona virus.
Victory Day is one of the most important holidays in Russia. According to historians, the Soviet Union lost around 27 million people in World War II.
