9 May 2025
Not to be outdone by the celebration of VE Day across Western Europe yesterday, Vladimir Putin this morning staged his own ‘biggest ever’ Victory Day celebrations in Moscow.
Over the course of Putin’s rule, the annual celebration of 9 May has gradually morphed from a solemn commemoration of the victory over Nazi Germany to being a key ideological cornerstone of his regime. Never one to miss a chance to send a message to Russia’s foreign adversaries, today’s 80th anniversary parade across Red Square – Putin’s 25th – was more a neat showcase of the President’s own militaristic and jingoistic ambitions than a tribute to the country’s past sacrifices.
Everything associated with the preparations for today’s event was a degree of magnitude bigger than in previous years. A three-day ceasefire in the war in Ukraine, announced by Putin last month to honour the occasion, began yesterday. Unsurprisingly, the Russian army is already reported to have broken it, according to Ukrainian authorities.
The Kremlin was clearly nervous about the potential havoc Ukrainian saboteurs could cause
In the centre of Red Square, a huge viewing platform had been erected next to, and over the top of Lenin’s tomb – quite the statement given the macabre reverence in which the site is usually held by the Kremlin.

I don’t know if I can forgive Zelensky for putting his tail between his legs like that and let this circus show be held without a single pop going off.
The vampire’s thank you will be a continuation of slaughtering civilians day and night.
I spit out in deep disgust to both, the Nazi prick and Zelensky.
This is high treason by Zelensky………………..20 fake empy drones over Moscow would be enough………..
Yeah, at least that!
I’m disappointed too. I know Zelensky has all the intel but the vampires moved like 260 air defense units to Moscow which certainly should have left some choice targets unprotected…
And I thought that the attacks the other day were just a warm-up for more to come.
In all likelihood General Red is probably not as smart as he thinks 😎 maybe tomorrow
Maybe Trump warned him off when they talked the other day.
I wouldn’t put it past that ridiculously orange colored criminal.
Not a tank to be seen, I wonder why?
At least that part must’ve been an embarrassment.
Without the Chinks and NK supplying the military, there would have been no parade either.
I’m getting pretty sick and tired seeing the mafia state get supported without a single restriction, and Ukraine gets one restriction after another, over and over again.
I’m so pissed I could spit out fire.

The answer to Zelensky failure……………..
Yeah, the vampire’s “thank you” for preserving his stupid parade will come massively.
