Russia marks on Friday the 80th anniversary of the Soviet and allied victory over Nazi Germany, though there are fears that Ukraine may seek to disrupt the most hallowed celebration in the Russian calendar. Russia is about to host 29 world leaders at its annual Victory Day parade, commemorating the Soviet Union’s defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War. But this year, the parade carries a significance that extends far beyond historical memory. Marking the 80th anniversary of the victory, the event is also a display of Russia’s attempt to project that it still has allies or partners willing to stand by an isolated Moscow – even as Ukrainian drone attacks target the city. #moscow #victorydayparade #putin #xijinping #ww2 #russia #russiamilitary #news18live n18oc_live n18oc_world News18 Mobile App -
