an independent country. and it all comes after people in europe celebrated v day on sunday with tribes paying tribute to the fallen soldiers as part of a mortal regiment with just up to mid day here in the russian capital. welcome to the program, my names you to know the celebrations are being held across russia to commemorate the 77th anniversary of victory. j. mili pretty prince took pride of place with the largest taking place in moscow. here some of the highlights from red square. ah

well, at the event the russian president delivered a speech in commemoration of the soviet victory over the 3rd reich. while we are putting praise, they heroic sacrifice made by the soviet people. and also said that moscow's recent attempts to broker

a security agreement with nato were unfortunately in vain. enough solutions nature, nations did not want to heat or call. it means in reality they had different plans and we saw that openly. they were preparing for another operation in the dom back to invade our historical lands, including crimea. in kiev, they were making statements about the possible acquisition of nuclear weapons. nato started actively exploring territories next to us. hence, they were trying to create an unacceptable threat for us in the vicinity of our borders. everything pointed to the fact that the clash against neo nazi follow is that the u. s. and their satellites put to stay calm with something that had to happen. it was becoming more and more dangerous with every passing day, and russia prevented this hostility. we had to do this, it was timely, and it was the only right thing to do. it was the decision of a strong sovereign, an independent country. while watching what the thing going on on red

square today at the parade was already correspondence. donald water. i'd like to give you a bit of background about these parades on red square. in fact, there have, there were even military parades on red square during the great patriotic war as russians call world war 2. even in the difficult winter of 1941, when the nazis were literally at the gates of moscow back than those parades were, for actually the 1917 russian revolution which were in the ussr, was known as the great october socialist revolution. and it was actually in the memory of these parades that were held at difficult times that the authorities this year decided to maintain the parade at full, at the, at its full scale on some officials were suggesting that maybe it should be cut down due to security concerns connected to the ukraine, a conflict, but that was they decided not to do that. you could hear the troops behind me also right now saying who ra they. they say that as the as shy go was inspecting them.

and just to give you, that's really loud behind me. i'm sure you could hear it. just thousands of soldiers shouting hurrah at the same time i. it's really a really cool thing on every victory day here. every year. now interestingly enough, the 1st victory day was actually held on june 24th 1945. that was a month after the germans capitulated. and these victory day parades were actually not held annually after that. they were held on every jubal a year 20th anniversary, 30th anniversary, et cetera, was only after $995.00 that the russian authorities decided to begin holding them annually. now, imagine you were 18 years old in 1945 enlisted in the red army at the end of the great patriotic war to day 77 years later you would be 95 years old. it's so secret that the generation of soviet heroes that defeated the nazis, are now fading into historical memory. and it's our duty to remember them,

of course ad as well as the 27000000 soviet p, who were killed in that terrible war. and just return to that speech by the russian president vladimir putin also accuse western powers of farming, the flames of anti russian sentiment and allegedly trying to wipe out the soviet contribution to victory over the nazis. let's take a closer look up to attempt the cancellation of russian history and culture in the west been experienced as the conflicts in ukraine goes on. western countries have been trying to twist certain positive history, especially the role of the soviet union in fighting fascism and nazi is the desecration or demolition of soviet era. monuments and cemeteries has been taken to a new level, getting rid of soviet symbols as the responsibility of all local administrations. there are about 60 places on our list where such symbolism needs to be removed. moscow has repeatedly condemned walsall calling on it not to follow the lead of

radical politicians. this is not the 1st time we have come across such a shameful phenomenon. the war against soviet monuments in poland. everything that is happening in poland now is happening in violation of bilateral, gorgeous, and the norms of civilized communication. traditional tokens of awareness have not escaped detention either. the st. george's ribbon, a case symbol in russia and abroad and use for commemorating world war 2 east in front veterans has been banned in moldova. the president said, the ribbons place is in the trash can of history of the western politicians are also not menacing their words when it comes to comparisons between the conflict and ukraine and world war 2. every russian has learned about the siege of leningrad during world war 2. sadly, history has repeated itself, but now it's the russian government cruelly starving ukrainian cities taking 2 completely different situations including them together. one that involves starving a city into submission. the other that has attempted humanitarian corridors and

a deliveries and the western media has been going even further and trying to draw historical parallels. the red army engaged in graham headed trustees and massacres during utopia patiently from poland, finn and, and other east european countries and 90. 399041 scenes nowadays from butcher mary . you pull car, cough and other ukranian cities, shows that russian soldiers over the past 10 weeks have passed a trade in atrocities against civilians in ukraine. some articles have given space for new interpretations of victory day. as russia's who on ukraine continues. the day will take on new meaning. it's very much about galvanizing support for russia, the present and showing off the strength of rushes, military forces. us diplomats have even accused the soviet union of being an ally of the nazis by cherry, picking specific episodes out of a much bigger historical context. put in like the accused, his victims of b, nazis. but it's important to remember that in 1939, that's

a germany on the soviet union, son and non aggression pact, only after than that says launched a surprise attack on the ussr. in june 1941, the, the soviet union joined the anti nasa struggle board of this makes not just a revision of the outcome of world war 2 and the bloody sacrifices of the soviet people. they've been canceled me system muslim functional. but we hear that lately, the west, there are more and more warts that the documents signed by the soviet to tell terry and regime which consolidate the results of the 2nd world war. we should no longer be carried out. the results of the 2nd world war, as well as the sacrifices made by our people on the altar of victory over nazis. you are sacred now, but if i give them a message while very point in today of all days, international affairs expert stuff and got judge believe some e u officials helping white washing and protecting new nazi groups within the ukraine military to europe is once again united against russia,

this is something that we have seen the mediaeval times, and i think it is also very indicative that she's this is so close victory, they occasion really allows the job because the victory, they actually came once the red army, the soviet troops and russia is the successor on the soviet union, one to solve it. so troops liberated europe from, from naziism. we come to this paradox that people in ukraine who are actually saying that they are not caesar such and such as the the battalion or are all right, sector and many other units. and they, they get why i don't whitewashed or. 1 actually the propaganda machinery and was trying to look on the west the how are days. but let's say in the political west is

trying to whitewash all of this and to, to present the or not see as the freedom fighters. and at the end of the day, even if it is things yet so obvious, and they say ok, so why did they are not? they are defending europe. well, he also said that he was defending europe. now there were actually bolsters, there were 2 in occupied belgrade which were literally with the same message that we hear from a. busy from the line. well let's just recap the highlight of the made night celebrations, the actual victory parade. hell today in the russian capital, a large number of columns of soldiers and heavy military vehicles, including some of the latest models, passed through the center of moscow on the way to red square. our correspondent murat garcia was in the thick of the action rolling with the armored convoy ah, we're now on our way towards the red square in these last

column of military vehicles. all sorts here. there are armored personnel carriers like the one where riding the b and b 3. but part of the preconditions for us that hit your rod was with these hats for safety reasons. obviously. now this column is huge all and oh, there are $131.00 military vehicles as part of this formation taking part of this parade, which is much fewer that in the years past. but the given the circumstances, the, the conflict in new grade, it was decided to downsize the deborah vehicles participating. nevertheless, there are examples of all sorts of vehicles armored personnel carriers,

protected cars, armored personnel carriers as well as tags, as well as all sorts of ha, i'm a personnel carriers as well as, as i would cause anti air defense systems, multiple raw fruit law to systems tactical myths all large is that even aimed to call the dental of ballistic missiles. nuclear missiles, the youtube complex, which is traditionally and the parade through the red square. again, there are also fewer people of your troops, 11000 versus 12000 last year. while the feeding the now sees was of course a global effort, we discussed the rule and sacrifice of asian countries in the 2nd world war with

victor gao who is a china 1st expert and also em mother swore on head of the peninsula foundation on the veteran of india's or force indian by the station in the 2nd one was, has been a huge and significant indian contributed a huge number of wallen girls, the largest swollen pier military. you go by dissipated on the 2nd one with 2400000 people. edison and all were complements, the huge bravery and b r, y, dispassion of the soviet forces william, instrumental and defeating germany. i am rolling back to the opposition barbarossa . but of course, we admire the enormous losses that you are under book, full of gain bills, losses, and beat back the nazi germany. the india, russia stiffly partnership is not just a board as the west beans, just a model dependency on on imports. it goes far beyond that, if people,

the people context that's been built over more than half a century of relationship, india is considered all the last place and not come under pressure. does a lot big pressure from the western countries in this particular move. they can have very already considered sam this wonderful and splendid victory parade on the red square. i think it's very impressive. it reminds of the whole world of what the former soviet union achieved, eating, defeating nazi germany and the soviet defeat of lottie. germany was not only a great victory for the soviet people, especially the russian people. but for the whole world, i don't think the wester world has given you recognition to what china did in terms of making contribution to the war efforts. it defeating imperialist that japan. and i hope history will be more accurate in terms of what the charlies people did and what the soviet union did in defeating these 2 evil points of nazi germany and

imperialist japan. bye now, china is already the 2nd largest economy in the world. are very important to power in the world in terms of economics, as well as global trade and also militarily and i think china is a major force for peace and stability and growth. victoria parades are taking place all across russia. on monday, residents of the country's far east were the 1st to hold their events. marches have a ready pass through the cities of habit. ropes use no psycho limits nor the severest and thought he was on the footage from the parade in flooding things or just rushing up more than 2000 people, took part in the fest the procession 1st came the units of the pacific fleet
