During the Victory Day military parade, President Vladimir Putin targeted the West amid his ongoing conflict with Ukraine, which began last February.

Putin said they are in the middle of a “real war,” which the West has declared. “Another real war has been unleashed against our fatherland. But we oppose international terrorism and we will also defend the people of Donbas and ensure our security,” Putin said on Red Square.

The president took the opportunity to motivate the fighters after a nighttime bombing of Kiev.

“We consider any supremacist ideology disgusting, criminal and deadly. Instead, globalist elites continue to defend their exclusivity, pit people against each other and divide societies, provoke bloody conflicts and coups, incite hatred, Russophobia and aggressive nationalism,” he stressed.

The president urged the West to impose “its will, its rights, its rules.”

“It seems that they have forgotten what led to the insane Nazi aspirations for world domination, who destroyed that monstrous and utter evil (…) and spared no lives for the sake of liberating the peoples of Europe,” he said, in a statement alluding to the Red Army.

In addition, he denounced some “revanchist” countries, with a clear allusion to Poland and the Baltic states, for preparing a “new march against Russia”, with the aim of achieving its disintegration.
