Putin, Xi and friendly world leaders celebrate Russia’s Victory Day at Moscow Parade

  • Russian President Vladimir Putin led a highly choreographed Victory Day parade on May 9 in Moscow, with friendly world leaders attending.
  • The event commemorated the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany and aimed to show Russia is not isolated despite the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
  • Dozens of foreign delegations, including presidents from Brazil, Egypt, Serbia, Venezuela, and the Palestinian Authority, attended despite Baltic states closing their airspace to diplomatic flights to Moscow.
  • Russian state media reported that approximately 11,500 soldiers participated in the parade, equipped with enhanced weaponry, while Putin announced a unilateral ceasefire lasting three days coinciding with the anniversary, a move that Ukraine quickly dismissed.
  • The parade reinforced Russia’s message of resilience and international support but coincided with stalled US-led peace talks and Ukraine calling the ceasefire a political manipulation.
