Putin’s “Victory Day” parade looks increasingly lonely.

Many countries that once tried to balance relations with Moscow are either skipping the event entirely or sending only low-level representatives as a diplomatic formality.

• India is not sending Modi.
• Iran is represented at a lower level.
• Hungary’s Viktor Orbán is gone for good.
• Several former Soviet republic leaders are staying away.

From Europe, only Serbia’s Aleksandar Vučić and Slovakia’s Robert Fico remain among the few attendees willing to openly associate themselves with the Kremlin spectacle.

And notably, even Xi Jinping’s attendance appears uncertain.

Twenty years ago, Moscow’s Victory Day parade hosted leaders from across Europe and the United States.

Now the guest list increasingly resembles a gathering of losers.

Evil comes in different forms.
But one thing remains true: it never lasts forever.

Meanwhile russia is indoctrinating children in school a, just like Nazi Germany did in 1930s-1940s. These children will grow up believing in superiority of russian race, hating Ukrainians and other nations, ready to commit genocide. As the world, we need to stop the rise of this evil.

“The losses of the Ukrainian people were among the greatest in World War II. And the contribution of Ukrainians to the defeat of Nazism was also among the greatest. Millions of Ukrainians, serving in different armies of the Anti-Hitler coalition, fought against Nazism. Millions of Ukrainians were among the victors, doing everything possible to ensure that total evil would lose.

Unfortunately, 81 years later, we are once again forced to stop evil — also total evil — that brings nothing but destruction and abuse, and that is built on a similar ideology of hatred. An updated version of Nazism marked: ‘made in Russia,’”

— Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in World War II.

As the world celebrates Victory in Europe Day, let us not forget how World War II began — with a deal.

In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. This agreement set the stage for the joint destruction of Europe.

Hitler invaded Poland from the west, and Stalin followed from the east. The USSR then attacked Finland, annexed the Baltics, and seized territory from Romania. Between 1939 and 1941, the Soviets supplied Nazi Germany with oil, grain, and raw materials — fueling its conquest of Europe.

Stalin was not Hitler’s victim. He was his partner in crime. Together, they ignited a war that would claim over 70 million lives.

Truth matters more than propaganda.

Franklin Graham is complaining that “the Communist Party is alive and well here in the United States.”

The irony is that he himself has enabled it!

Franklin Graham has been cozying to Putin and his regime for years. He has appeared on multiple russian propaganda channels, praised Vladimir Putin repeatedly, and urged people to pray for Putin’s “wisdom.” Not once has he called for Putin’s repentance. Not once!

It is because of people like Franklin Graham that many atheists want nothing to do with the church.

“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” – Brennan Manning
