Red Square’s Victory Day parade marked the 81st anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany, where Vladimir Putin said Russia would prevail in Ukraine and praised troops facing what he called a NATO-backed enemy.
For the first time in nearly 20 years, the parade rolled out without tanks, missiles or other heavy equipment, with Russian officials citing the operational situation and security fears over possible Ukrainian attacks.
North Korean troops appeared in the parade for the first time, underscoring Moscow’s tribute to Pyongyang after it sent soldiers to fight alongside Russian forces against Ukraine.
Several foreign leaders attended the ceremony, which used a pared-back military display to project wartime resolve while highlighting Russia’s expanding reliance on external support.
