and it's already full of people and it is going to get packed. i do have the experience. i've march here in the previous years for 5 or 6 times. and like i said, there is going to be a sea of people. and i remember that you just don't understand. usually when it is going to end of this was the place for the russian military hardware during the parade that perhaps you've seen a little earlier, but now this is the area for the people because i don't know a march bigger than this in russia. i don't know anything that warms up the hearts and unites as the people of this country, the people of the former soviet republics. more than that, like you said, unit, that the tradition is very simple. it was a board in rush about 15 years ago where people do is carry the photos of their

loved ones. and it's not an exaggeration when they're saying that someone from every single family in this country fought in the war. and what i'm saying that as event is universal. well, a think about it because it's actually happening in places from australia to cities in america imagined the geography in russia, and one of the cities cold. nor else it began snowing. yes, it's made the 9th huh. very close to the summer, but it was and deep snowing in the rails that didn't see a wall the show. oh, now as you can hear, this is marie around me. this is pretty much what keeps happening a will keep on happening amongst goes main street. and i can hear the songs from huh. the tines of the great patriotic war,

world war 2. this is how the war is called this country. now, unfortunately though, in a place called her san, and that is where the immortal regiment 1st took place in 8 years, that's a place that's now control the city that's controlled by the russian forces in ukraine. and there was something that could've spoilt it. according to the russian military, or some ukrainian missiles were about to hit the city, but that never happened. and, and that's, of course, it was very dangerous, but it was a reason why now it's calm there, but again, that there's going to be more people here in moscow. i don't want to talk about the negative things. i'll come back to you and tell you what's happening in central moscow. and of course i'm marching here with my for great. grandfather's, my family will be proud. yeah,

absolutely. a piece of history in your hands there. thank you very much, shelly, patricia giving us a sense of what's happening right now on the streets of downtime. it lets bring you as well to the dumbass city of mario pl, recently retaken by russian lead forces victory day being celebrated there as well . a huge 300 metre long st. george ribbon was unfurled, and the city of the eternal flame was solemnly lit. people have been carrying portraits there as well, of their relatives on laying flowers at the monument to the fallen, many of the local se there happy to be able to openly celebrate victory day for the 1st time in 8 years. as mater you ple had been under the control of ukraine's military since 2014 ortiz from on cost river is therefore us the 9th of may. the victory day is being celebrated officially here in the city of variable for the 1st time in the last 8 years. there are several events planned for the day

. first of all, of course, is the lighting of the eternal plane. once again, the 1st time in the last 8 years later on there's going to be a rally where a locals will walk from the terminal, flamed to the monuments of the people who fill in the fight against fascism in the 2nd world war her here in that mar, you pull. i spoke to some of the people and asked them what this date 9th of made means to them, and how they've been celebrated over the last 8 years. let's have a listen. it and we were just that we are very sorry that all this stopped in 2014 . if we had gone further, maybe there would not have been so many victims, so much destruction it them rising, it's a holiday. it's not even a longing. this is a joy that overwhelmed the cell because for all 8 years, all this was forbidden here under sissy, just finance. there is a holiday in my soul now because we have been waiting for all 8 years that we were

waiting for victory day when we wouldn't be afraid to go to the monument and lay flowers. well, military praise were held in cities across the country earlier on monday with the largest traditionally taking place in moscow. here some of the highlights from red square ah, with

during his victory parade speech, vladimir putin praise the immense sacrifice made by the soviet people. some 27000000 were killed. and also drew parallels between the current conflict and ukraine and the fight against the 3rd reich. name your muscles that will have everything pointed to the fact that the clash against neo nazi follows the u. s. and the satellites put the steak on it was something that had to happen a lot. it was becoming more and more dangerous with every passing day. and russia prevented this hostility. we had to do this and it was timely. and it was the only right thing to do. it was the decision of a strong sovereign,

an independent country. you are fighting for your homeland and its future to ensure that no one forgets the lessons of the 2nd world war, so that there is no place in the world for execution as punishes, and nazis. given the, given the read how closely, how closely vladimir putin put together these 2 events, i mean, the 2nd world war and what's going on in ukraine right now. and of course, he did say that those people, those russian soldiers were right now, while i being injured, perhaps, well dying they're, they, they're, they're, what they're doing is very much akin to what the great grandfather's and grandfather were doing. back in the 940, the timing is very important because again, of the brushes military opperation in ukraine. again, this military operation in ukraine is being waged on the very similar banners as to what the soviet union was doing when it was fighting nazi germany and its allies.

officials, ma'am, as a sort of we know to, to 940 an early 1941, the soviet union went to great lengths to prevent war or at least delay its outbreak. to this end, the ussr sought to avoid provoking the potential aggressor until the very end by refraining or postponing the most urgent and obvious preparations that had to make to defend itself from an imminent attack. when it finally acted, it was too late. as a result, the country was not prepared to counter the invasion by nazi germany, which attacked tell motherland on june, the 22nd 1941 without declaring war. the country stopped, the enemy went on to defeat it. but this came, it's a tremendous cost. the attempt to appease the aggressive head of the great patriotic war, proved to be a mistake, which came it's a high cost for our people in the 1st month after the hostilities broke out will off the bus territories and strategic importance as well as millions of lives we have no right to make the same mistake again. he spoke about how nathan was

exploiting territories around russia and how it didn't listen to russia as well, concerns about security and safety, talking about ukraine. of course, it is especially important again and the current climate when everything that they did when a lot of what they did back in 19454443 basically throughout the whole, the entirety of the world war when it is being, if not erase, but very much distorted from history like when, for example, the soviet, the red army is right now being basically when people draw parallels between the red army and the nazi germany, between fascists so, and this is, this is something that russia has repeatedly said that it won't stand for it and won't just stand idle and watch how history, how these, how basically, that is being is being rewritten. and while you're raised from, from history eager down off commenting,

there will defeating the nazis on the axis allies. once of course, a global effort, we discussed the ruling sacrifice of india in the 2nd world war, as well as current new deli, moscow ties with m. memphis warren had of the peninsula foundation on the veteran of india, or force the indian by the station. in the 2nd world war has been huge and significant in their phone communities. huge number one is the largest one and military was created in the 2nd 1400000 people were compliments. the huge, every and the participation of the soviet forces were the instrument. and depending germany, i'm rolling back to be operation by, but we might be in almost lots of doing under book. well, that's been built lots and been back than me in the strategic partnerships. not

just a board as the west, spain gets the more liberal lindsay on the board, it goes far beyond people. the people context that's been built. all of them seem to be a relationship. india is considered, although that does not come under pressure, does not big pressure from the west. some countries in this particular way, they come to the family. one of the countries that sustained the heaviest casualties during the 2nd world war is china. the country lost more than 15000000 people during the war while fighting against the imperialist japan. on orphanage in the western russian city of van, of became an international children shelter, also taking in people from china during the conflict. some of them even went on to serve in the front lines on others health care for the wind. it brought to the orphanage r t. s or some of their stories. ah,

yep. or restored. i do remember that i was born in moscow 1936, and then when the great patriotic war began in 1941, we were sent to the red to the city of van over 300 kilometers from moscow, where the 1st international orphanage was built. ah, yep, when you got them, i remember when injured soldiers were brought from the front line as well as wounded civilians. the older guys acted as paramedics taken care of the engine. as for us, the little children we helped them washed band, just kept the wounded. come,

we sang songs to the injured soldiers and civilians danced, wrote letters during the great patriotic bull we were small, but despite a rage, we'll try to help the soviet people defeat the fascists. said we went through this war together and won this war to get with libya, visiting with the dog. i have the fondest memories from life in the orphanage. even in such travels difficult times. it was my golden childhood and i think we received a very good spiritual indication that the russian teachers but also education and the orphanage in still to me, a love for my uh, for my profession. so i want to give my heartfelt thanks. not only to my choreography teachers, but to all the educators, to all our teachers in soviet schools, because they told me how to be a good person. me well an instance on the day

to tell you by rushes and buster to poland has been dice with red paint. during a ceremony paying tribute to saw the soldiers. in warsaw, the attack came from a nearby crowd waving ukrainian flags. it's not clear of any suspects. we're detained, sir. again, drift was or should away from the scene by police officers for his own safety. the ambassador receives neither he nor other diplomats were injured in the attack. rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman house condensed. what happened? seeing the country's embassy will issue a protest to poland and in another european capital pride cars posthumously stripped. the title of citizen of honor, from soviet military marshal, even con, of who led the operation to liberate the city. in 1945 and very poignant to the old days international affairs experts. stephanie. gotcha. i believe some e u officials being white forcing and protecting new nazi groups operating in the

ukraine military to europe is once again united against russia. this is something that we have seen. this is the mediaeval times, and i think it is also very indicative that she's this is so gross 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 1 actually the propaganda machinery and was

trying to the west the how holidays but let's say in the political west is trying to whitewash all of this and to try to present the neo nazis as the freedom fighters. and at the end of the day, even if things yes, so obvious and they say ok, so what did they or not? they are defending europe. well, humor also said that he was defending europe. there were actually bolsters, there were 2 in occupied belgrade, which were literally with the same message that we hear from also from the line. just returning to his victory day address, vladimir putin accuse western powers of filing the flames of anti russian sentiment and allegedly trying to wipe by the soviet contribution to victory over the nonsense. let's examine that current attempted cancellation of russian history and culture. not 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 naziism. 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 and 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 mincing 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 and gluing them together. one that involves starving a city into submission. the other that has a template humanitarian corridors and a deliveries. and the western media has been going even further and tried to draw historical parallels. the red army engaged in ramp headed trustees and massacres during utopia. patient of a ford, 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 perpetrated atrocities against civilians in ukraine. some articles have given space the new interpretations of victory day as russia who on ukraine continues the

day will take on you. 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 likes to accuse 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 the knots. this launch a surprise attack on the ussr. in june 1941 d, the soviet union joined the anti nasa struggle border. 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. music muslim, functional we hear that lately, the west there are more and more warts that the documents signed by the savvy to tell terry regime which consolidate the results of the 2nd world war 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, our sacred note. but if i give them a message as well. and as the fighting continues and on boss, renowned american activist, john parker visited the lou gant's republic this week, and blame the u. s. government for help and care of keep its war effort going. they train these neo nazis. and not only that, there are neo nazis in the united states who are a big problem for us going to the ukraine and getting military training from these forces and coming back and creating more terror. but yes, the u. s. as ah, funded these folks since 2004, they've given $22400000000.00 the ukraine. and a lot of that money is going to these leo, nazi forces. they'd all talk about the,

the prisons that these neo nazis have and dep tortured people with. and then we'll talk about the fact that these neo nazis have been infiltrated into the government and parliament. we did get a lot of eye witness testimony about the targeting of civilians in terms of targeting their homes the treatment that they received. the we are very concerned about the push towards world war 3, which is what every day. it seems like they are increasing their money, the billions of dollars that they're sending to the ukraine, and the weapons, and the stingers in the whatever they call those javelins and surface to air missiles and very sophisticated machinery of death that they're sending. and there's even information that they're,

they're telling the ukrainian military where to target russian generals, this is, these are provocations of war. now a significant development today, joe biden is said to sign the lend lease act later and monday to facilitate a priest and military supplies to key just some figures. the u. s. has already given more than $3000000000.00 in lethal aid to ukraine and her so the additional $165000000.00 worth of weapons to the country because of that us congressman has said american armament stockpiles are now running low. we just burned through 7 years worth of javelin, and that's not only important as we continue to try and help you cranium when in ukraine. that's important as we try to simultaneously defend taiwan from aggression from the chinese communist party. they're going to need access to some of these same weapon systems, and we simply don't have the stockpiles at present in order to backfill what we've

spent in ukraine. however, despite the massive flow of weaponry from the west to ukraine, the quality of the arms reportedly appears far from top notch. a ukrainian officer who surrendered to russian forces was criticized the equipment provided to clear from the e u. the u. s. seeing the weaponry did not live up to, the hype has always, in such cases, we need to mention there's a possibility he's picking on her dress mover, and that was the 2nd. the u. s. military aid was overrated. with the hyped up grenade launchers, javelins and, and laws turned out to be flawed. in practice, there were lots of misfires in only one in 4 shot correctly. had happened that they could not hit a target at just 50 meters off in the batteries had expired. with it written that the expiration day was close, we were trained really quickly at a shooting range that we did manage to thoroughly understand how the equipment works. so we didn't try to use it in combat conditions. without that,

just about everyone didn't understand why the misfires were occurring. still part of him when it, what role of today's developments, a reminder that our twitter page will keep you in the know to give us a follow if you're not doing so already live from moscow. this is our t ah ah, with no shoes on. yeah, americans, grey, you, when you wrote, you got to it is just such an upgrade to the ceiling. it provides you with stuff

the questions, i just thought i would live with it. if you can use the regular, if you don't discover about commercially, if your credit was worthy repeatedly, we were young that they're upset at the bill of rippling into what machine you're going to. only me with this is voted from that in that region shell by the ukranian forces. this is 2014 a. this is 2015. a 2016 mm 2017. mm.
