Russia Had a Sad Parade – Putin Knows He Cannot Declare War
Video Summary
Russia’s Victory Day celebration on May 9th, 2022, took on added significance due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The parade, usually a grand affair, was downscaled and somber, with many equipment and troops being used in Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin’s speech was brief and did not mention Ukraine by name, instead focusing on the Soviet Union’s victory in World War II. Putin’s comments were seen as an attempt to rewrite history, downplaying Ukraine’s existence and portraying Russia as the true victim.
The speech was met with criticism, as Putin’s government has been accused of human rights abuses and war crimes in Ukraine. The video highlights the tragic stories of Russian soldiers and Ukrainian civilians caught in the conflict, including the sinking of the Moskva cruiser and the execution of injured Russian troops.
Putin’s actions have been seen as a desperate attempt to boost his popularity and distract from the war’s devastating consequences. The video concludes by highlighting the significant role the United States played in supporting the Soviet Union during World War II through the Lend-Lease Act, which supplied the Soviet Union with vital goods and equipment.
