Vladimir Putin gives angry speech at stripped-back Victory Day parade

The Independent  

After Russia attacked Ukraine with its latest barrage of cruise missiles, Vladimir Putin made an angry speech to mark Victory Day in Moscow, hitting out at Western countries for starting what he claims is a “real war” against Russia. “Today, civilisation is once again at a decisive turning point,” Mr Putin said as he again sought to defend his invasion of Ukraine by painting Russia as having been cornered by “Western global elites”. Moscow has stepped up such attacks in the run-up to Victory Day, and ahead of the anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive, which Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has said will be launched “soon”. “Kyiv, as the capital of Ukraine, is the beating heart of today’s European values,” Ms Von der Leyen said at the news conference.
