Putin's speech decoded: The address was utterly empty of new ideas – but that was not the point

The Telegraph  

It could have been a moment of triumph. If Vladimir Putin's February invasion of Ukraine had gone as planned, he would have been reviewing today's Victory Day parade on Kyiv's Independence Square - claiming a triumph as glorious, in his view, as 1945 itself. Instead, his troops were marching through Red Square in Moscow with a fraction of the hardware they usually display and none of the aircraft - and the comparisons he drew were not between two Victories, but two bloody but righteous struggles that required the country to pull together. Mr Putin was always going to compare his current war in Ukraine with the Second World War in a bid to rally the country and the army to his invasion. That would have been a distortion too far when even in Mariupol, which he previously claimed to be "liberated" the fight is not over.
