Putin's Military Showcase Amidst Ongoing War in Ukraine

Amidst ongoing cease-fire talks, President Putin celebrates military endurance during WWII commemorations.


On May 9, President Vladimir Putin emphasized Russia's military resilience in Ukraine during Moscow's Victory Day Parade, showcasing military support from allies and a strong display of national unity.


In a vivid display of defiance, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia used Moscow's annual Victory Day Parade to showcase Russia's military strength and resilience amidst ongoing conflicts in Ukraine. The event marked the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany, and Putin utilized the occasion to reinforce his regime's narrative around the war.

Draped in military pageantry, the parade featured over 11,500 troops, including soldiers involved in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Notably, it was the first time that Russian-made drones were publicly paraded, symbolizing the military capabilities the country has developed despite facing significant setbacks when Russian forces initially invaded Ukraine in 2022.

Putin highlighted the support from international allies, including North Korean military resources and Chinese technological assistance, indicating that he is not short on means to extend the war effort. His address to the crowd resonated with claims of national unity, stating, “Truth and justice are on our side,” while reinforcing the Kremlin’s characterization of the conflict as a “special military operation.”

The atmosphere in Red Square was one of national pride, with an appeal to collective sacrifice and support for the military personnel involved, showcasing the Kremlin’s intent to bolster morale among its citizens amid the prolonged conflict. As cease-fire negotiations remain sluggish, Putin’s statements and displays continue to signal a resolve to not back down in the Ukrainian theater of war.
