President Vladimir Putin says Russia faces a threat to its existence.
He was speaking in Red Square at the Victory Day parade to mark Germany’s surrender in World War II in 1945. Putin attacked what he called “Western global elites” for unleashing “a real war” against Russia.

Russia is great 🇷🇺🤝🇵🇰
@J Blake Crimea and Donbas are anyway Russian so the war is almost over.
@J Blake BTW Ukrainians are not liberal by nature. They know what a woman is and did not willingly give up their borders like you do.
@Liberal human Toilet Undermining neighbouring sovereign states will naturally undermine your own.
@Liberal human Toilet Claiming Crimea and Donbas as russian is a slippery slope, as you might find the biggest army in world wants outer manchuria back, and russia will be too weak and poor to resist. What does Xi think about the definition of a women? I guess he is more into little girls, like Putin , right?
Pure evil
Unconditional surrender is the only way out for Ukraine. Hitler’s Germany also refused to admit defeat until Hitler killed himself, then Keitel signed unconditional surrender. Zelenskyy is running out of cannon fodder. WSJ is describing Zelenskyy mobilization in this way: “Mr. Zelensky in January introduced even harsher punishment for desertion and disobedience. A disabled person was drafted in western Ukraine and pronounced fit for service despite having no hands. Another died on the front lines within a month of mobilization after 10 days of training, according to his relatives.” Zelenskyy is officially catching and forced conscripting even disabled. When such people are in the trenches, it means that the front can collapse at any moment. Zelenskyy’s strategy reminds a strategy of one Austrian artist in 1945 . Biden administration is urging Zelenskyy regime to start its last and most likely suicidal offensive because current situation is unsustainable. It would be difficult to convince republican congress to keep wasting hundreds of billions on this lost war.
shut up, idiot
How much did you get paid to write such nonsense?
@Stacha Stochmol they demand to be wiped out.
So how many classes did it take for you to be able write fluently in English?
@Garth Vader What did i say wrong, my great teacher ? Maybe you are able to correct my mistakes ?
😂😂😂😂
If the Ukrainian counteroffensive had any chance of success, it would be well underway right now.
There is no counter offensive, its all political theatre designed to distract and confuse.
If they can’t win militarily, the Ukrainian regime needs to surrender and try to come to terms with Moscow.
A man of understanding receives commandments, but foolish lips lead to ruin.
That lone tank! 😂😂😂
It was the MBT of USSR against Germans . It’s symbolic
@Whatever You Want And T72 blown up by the hundreds by US made Javelins 🙂
How symbolic of who is a superpower and one who is not :).
@Whatever You Want It was mass produced and easily to operate tank and crews were expendable.
German armor was superior but the numbers the Soviets threw at the Eastern front – 3 to 1 ratio’s.
It is like the Bakmut meat assaults that define the tragic Russians today.
Life is depressing and meaningless – die for the Emperor , then the Supreme Leader of the CCCP or now the Russian Federation.
the most interesting thing is that none of the Russian officials commented on the lack of equipment and aviation, I think the Russians and everything is clear, the shortage of military equipment is visible even at the solemn events in Russia
@Kenyatta Anderson All the good tank crews have been burnt to a crisp in the first days of the invasion thanks to Javelin and Russian ineptitude in combined arms warfare.
Sending tanks out in a line on roads – it is not a parade.
What Putin has said makes sense… A multipolar world is the need of the hour to counter evil monpolistic dictatorship of one nation or a group of nations…. 🎉
One T34 tank :).
Slava Ukrainia !!!!!!
America is a superpower country only on western social medias🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but we all have seen a single country that have overpowered the united of more than 40countries and that so called NATO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Russia is the no1 superpower country in the world according to the facts and evidences🤣🤣🤣 dear Americans the truth hurts but you have to accept it
20k killed? Haha 😆
Is it a lit more or less?
Russia walked into another country? I’m soooo confused how they have audacity to blame it onto someone else.
There would not be this much suffering if they just stayed with in their borders. I am also not sure how they can justify all of these cruise missiles landing in civilian complexes. Like wtf
That word unprovoked makes me sick.
We hear the truth everyday.
Russia is on the right side of history.
They are stealing children – that never puts you on the right side of history.
Funny how the rest of the world understands Russia, except for Americans and thanks to their fake news.
The far right side of history
LENTO all’IRA!
The Ukrainian farmer must have miss to tow the single tank and sell it to the scrap yard.
BTW what happened to the rumoured tremors and cancer and whatnot that Putin is supposed to be ailing with? How come no references to his poor health? Or is it a body double in the video??
A Putin aid defected not long ago. Apparently, he is in perfect health.
Mental case
He is probably able to restore his health by sacrificing the innocent.
Qatar’s media outlet Aljazeera which not even raise voice for democracy in Qatar (an authoritarian absolute monarchy ruled by the Al Thani royal family) criticize the lack of democracy elsewhere its hypocricy at its finest
Paper Tigers…All Show
make it remove russian flag, bring U.S.S.R. back
1 lone tank without flyover on Russia biggest parade, how to tell the world you are broke without telling you are broke 😂😂😂
At previous parades Russia showed the latest developments of equipment and equipment, now Russia even has no technical possibility to support the products that worked before the military aggression, sanctions created a shortage of various components that Russian industry used
Ukraine is really good at fighting and is capable of defeating this army
@Kenyatta Anderson Now Russia has even sent all of its old tanks to Ukraine. But they still have no success there
hooorrrraaay
At least Russians have a country, people and borders of their own and can define what a woman is.
@Frederik Pedersen Oh no please take it back. Your opinion of me matters more than anything.
@Liberal human Toilet why do you keep replying if my comments mean nothing?
@Frederik Pedersen Please take it back. PLEASE
@Liberal human Toilet ok you got offended, I’ll let you cool off
@Frederik Pedersen Thank you. We all know that words hurt and can cause fascism to reappear.
Only a fraction of Russia’s military are fighting.
Yes that is why Wagner recruits murderers and rapists from prison because nobody wants to die in their meat assualts – you Russian trolls are pathetic.
well duh, given the size of the country (so it will need to keep some troops in other regions to defend it’s borders), that it can only use the Black Sea Navy (so not the Pacific, North Atlantic or Baltic fleets), and that it can’t use nukes then of course it is not using all of it’s military. Yet still they chose to invade and are getting a beating boo hoo.
@shuathe2ndbeaten by occupying 25% of Ukraine. 😂😂
@Ugerm_Z so it’s more like 20%, and given that half of that was captured in 2016, the special military operation has only occupied 10%, and for the cost of 120,000 dead russians. Is it worth it? Sanctions are destroying russia economy, and they will likely lose most of what they have by the end of summer, so well done russia, well done.
@Ugerm_Z 😆
Last victory day parade
I also hope that this is the last parade of Russia, we must help Ukraine to put an end to this dictatorship, and Putin’s traditions and tactics are very similar to those of other dictators like Hitler
Keep dreaming.
Glory to Russia.
Glory to Purin.
[Z]
@Ugerm_Z Z = zombie like you. Your stupidity makes you dead inside. Go look for brains somewhere
Z mince meat of Ukraine
@protagonist mince meat of your mother
Great reporting
This is the most ridiculous “victory day” of Russia 😅
The Russian parade is a miserable sight; thanks to the actions of the Ukrainian army, Russian museums have new responsibilities, Russia has such a large shortage of heavy equipment that the Russian armies have to use the reserves that have stood at the firing ranges for more than 30 years
The combination of sanctions and the protracted war has severely impacted Russia’s resilience, and it is becoming increasingly apparent that their capabilities are declining
@Valery Ferry declining, but not quick enough for the poor residents of Ukraine.
Russia sent tanks to Ukraine that belong in a museum, and now there is only one tank left in their country 😅
Ukraine is really fighting very well and professionally. With our help, they will win. Also very important sanctions that keep the Russian economy from developing and spending more money on the war
China Russia
The absence of modern equipment raises questions about the state of readiness of the Second Peace Army
The opening of the parade featured the only T-34 tank that took part in World War II. However, no contemporary military hardware was shown. This could be due to Russia’s prolonged conflict, which has sapped the country’s strength.
Of course most Modern Tanks are deployed in the Frontline and some are on stand by …just watch those mobile nuclear missile launcher….. that is the main muscle of the Russian army
It’s concerning that there are no weapons displayed in the parade, indicating a significant deployment of military assets in the Ukrainian war
The parade was lacklustre, with a minimal display of military equipment, cadets marching instead of soldiers, and no aircraft included.
pathetic parade
Putin is pathetic
Is everything really so bad in Russia that they turned out such a bad parade with a minimal amount of equipment?
At least Russia still has 1000 tank left and nuke Ukraine cannot defeat Russia Putin will use nuclear weapons they will fail to retake Crimea 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Putin cannot use his nukes as they are the same as T14 Armata, a fiction and not maintained.
Russia running out o troops and weapons began last year March ……and today same story indeed west is the weakest
Not one modern piece of fire power. Not one. This is a parade of military power. I saw no conventional power at all. Russia has lost its war of aggression.
And what happened to their powerful weapons, which have no analogs in the world?
To effectively counter Russia, Ukraine must prioritize the complete liberation of the territory and equip its forces with cutting-edge weapons
Russia said that a great country. But it turned out that no
Russia no longer has money for weapons
Lol just watch…. Ukraine is already defeated what russia is fighting is the US and NATO army masquerading as Ukrainian army….dont be fooled by the West media Russia can appear weak but in reality they can wipe out US and Nato just a push of a Button
This parade proves once again that Russia is in a deplorable state.
It looks like Russia is in huge trouble, both on the battlefield and at home…
To be fair, it doesn’t look like a parade of the world’s second army, although maybe it’s not really second anymore?
Now it is very important to keep pressure on the Russian economy and support Ukraine. The Ukrainians must kick out the occupiers and win. Then peace will finally come
@DavidSmith They ran out of money and weapons to keep them in Russia. They started sending old weapons from World War II to Ukraine a long time ago
@Erin Walker Their economy is in a terrible state, all their weapons and military are dying in Ukraine. Nothing good is clearly in store for them
Russia and China build, whilst western nato jew values bombs and spreads chaos
Go Russia!🎉
Holy Creator please bless Putin!❤❤❤
I also love Adolf, but he is passed out.
Terrorists and war criminal Putin is closer to Hitler and the devil
The Russian parade was so sparse that you begin to realize the real losses of equipment on the part of the Russian army…
Russia simply made a laughingstock of itself
The parade looks nothing like it should, there is very little equipment, and it is clear that Ukraine is not doing very well!
I haven’t seen anything more ridiculous than one t-34 tank and a bunch of cadets. The second army in the world, which has not had any success in Bakhmut for 8 months, although it is obvious that they have sent absolutely all their weapons to Ukraine
Putin is gonna have a fatal accident pretty soon; I can smell it.
I think it’s mind games from Russia to show they don’t have equipments, so the west would assume that if they spent some more $$$ they can win over Russia.
shouldve sent an army of bomb drones on this day
