democrats using nearly $40000000000.00 of additional aid for ukraine, for the signing of that bill happened on what was victory in europe day in former soviet countries. it's a day mocking the defeat of nazi germany of world war 2. it's usually marked by ukraine with large parades, but there was no such public events this year for fear of russian attacks. ah, it may be victory day, but ukrainians have not got much to celebrate. caves, independence square, almost empty, and ceremonies kept small. ding barbecue, this is remember and say, commemorating all those who died during world war 2 to the year more and on this day, we're also commemorating the ukrainians worth died during this current war. i don't like to call it a war actually, but an act of aggression by the russian federation. she irish spoke horace.

with festivities canceled the silence here looms heavily. ah, but in the south west, the sound of air sirens is piercing. ukraine says russia fired high precision missiles at the cities of odessa and mich alive and russian troops continued to storm the as a style still works in mary paul, where the cities last offenders holding out new mach benuya gear. lo shackles that combined. and i'll free spirit and hemoglobin, there is no occupy, you can take that route in our free land name was that there is no invito who can rule or the, our free people in norwood sooner or later with his women. but am, i'm not all ukrainians share zalinski sentiments in an area of mary po, sped for much of the shelling. some are attending celebrations organized by the

most go back to separatist government of denounced and promoted by russia. yes, of course, we were not allowed by the ukranian authorities to celebrate victory day, but we still celebrated this hard on every family that i may later. the mayor's office allowed us to lay flowers and thank the veterans. but the ukraine's authorities were not happy about this. the proof back in 2014, that we will always be together with russia, with the city which is mostly been destroyed by russian attacks, is now almost entirely under the cremeans control. as ukrainians honor the sacrifices of their forefathers, many look to the future with a fear that the lessons of the past have not been land. well, it was a different story in the russian capital. moscow way president vladimir putin praised his armed forces fighting the war and ukraine. the russian leader made a series of false claims about the war,

including an allegation that western countries provoked the attack. thousands of troops and military vehicles paraded through red square and boot news to speech. to repeat his claim, that of ukraine tried to obtain a nuclear weapon and that he is so called special military operation, had been launched only after exhausting every other beat for peace. steven norris is a professor of russian history at miami university in the us state of ohio. earlier i asked him whether he was surprised that prudent didn't declare victory in ukraine or announce a full mobilization. i think what was said is still quite significant. there was, as you mentioned, a lot of speculation that wouldn't, would announce a general mobile mobilization, which would of course, turn the war into the next phase. but what he didn't say was, was quite specific as reference in the story before about blaming nato. again, for the aggression referencing neo nazis in ukraine, claiming that this is ongoing aggression. that's ongoing war is

a defense of the mother, claiming the song bus is an essential part of the russian motherland. and you know, again and again, referencing neo nazis and bender writes, and i'm using the rhetoric that is used to justify this invasion using the lies that is used to justify this invasion for, for purposes of the picture day speech. and that marks something of a difference of the usual thing through a speech giving, given everything you've just said, the rhetoric that we've heard from flood me person. what does that lead you to believe he's plans are now going forward? it's hard to say, although, you know, last year, for example, there's, there's a sort of a usual way of giving the victory day speech that putin has employed. he's a certain phrases again and again, kind of makes a repetitive ritual of the speech about the secret victory, one and one more to the necessity of defending the mother land and the willingness of russians across time to defend the model and sacrificed themselves the greatest hits really that he gives in the 1st half of the speech in the 2nd half of the

speech is recently has been kind of vague references last year. for example, we talked about, you know, those who are denigrating, russia and who falsified history. and he made some references to growing the naziism 2 years ago in 2020. he actually praised the allied contributions to war. so what, what is really alarming and someone ominous about this speech is, are these very specific references to nato and native aggression? the law is that he's used for in order to justify this invasion, which means it's maybe we were looking for the speech to do something that it normally doesn't do. but really what it didn't do is in fact what we were looking for. now there was some emphasis, quite a lot of emphasis on, on the don't bass in the speech and no a specific reference to the sovereign country of ukraine. does that lead you to think that russia has not actually revised its war aims away from trying to eventually take over all of you crime? i think so. it is. i don't think there was a great revision here. didn't try to claim victory in a limited sense. you didn't try to claim victory at all. he again and again talked

about the don bass about the sacrifices of people that don neo nazis that are leading the fight against the don best wishes and pollutants weren't. you know, a fight against store exactly russia itself. so yeah, i think the speech wasn't indeed just a way of reiterating williams from the beginning that was steven norris, professor of russian history at miami university in the us state of ohio. speaking to me a little bit earlier is let's take a look now at some of the other developments in the ukraine conflicts, the russian ambassador to poland was met with loud protests that a victory diary laying in warsaw. then he was flattered with red paint polish government opposed any large scale commemoration and offered little security. the russian diplomat said he's proud of is country and president. several 100 people in the german city of cologne have shown their support for russia. driving in a long motion came through the city with police security,

most had flags of russia. all the soviet union ukraine support is shouted out here and there, but police did. they were no clashes, un secretary general antonia good terrorist has visited moldova, which borders you crime. he thanked moldova for taking in hundreds, hundreds of thousands of ukrainian refugees, and called for more financial support for the country. european council president shaw michelle was forced to take cover from a missile attack during a surprised visit to odessa. ukrainian city has been the target of russian missiles over recent days. he was in adjusted to view the walls, destruction there or the son of former philippines dictator. ferdinand market has won a landslide victory in the countries presidential election with more than 90 percent of the vote. counted ferdinand marcos junior has taken more than twice as many votes as he main rival. lenny ro, breeder's early results,
