Last minute: On the 77th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War, Russia celebrated Victory Day today. While this year’s ceremonies were followed with special attention due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian leader Putin made the highly anticipated statement. “Kyiv was after nuclear weapons” said Putin, “We did what we had to do in Ukraine. We did it for independence” made the statement.
Highlights from Putin’s statement:
“Kyiv WAS LOOKING FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS”
“For us, this victory is very sacred. The descendants of our immortal regiment are with us today. They carry their photographs. We offered a peace, but it was all in vain. Western countries did not listen to us, they had different plans. They were preparing for openly punitive operations. Kyiv was after nuclear weapons. In Ukraine We did what we had to do, we did it for independence.
“USA HISTORY WAS CRASHED”
The United States began to speak of sovereignty as an exception, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union. He began to impress his followers. It wants to swallow everything in one movement. We are tied to our beliefs, traditions, ancestors. The West, on the other hand, gave up these thousands of years old values and started to introduce the victims of World War II differently, distorting history.
“RUSSIAN SOLDIERS ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR OWN LAND”
Today, the soldiers of Donbas are fighting with our soldiers voluntarily in their own land. They are fighting so that no one forgets the lessons of World War II. Russian soldiers are fighting for their land. The great homeland war is of great value to us. Today, our warriors and soldiers are fighting and fighting together, even though they are of different nationalities. Russia’s power is also here. We are carrying out the same struggle that our grandfathers did before. The most important thing is to protect Russia’s sovereignty and ensure its security.”
