novi. dar some 100 kilometer away from logan's, in this conflict key of uses a lot of foreign weapons. and 3 chem britain is responsible for that will do it. and i hope that no matter how much more of their equipment we capture school, there will be no room on the square for it on the negative picture day that the will my own hon. the u. s. am you are helping that, but this is a bad decision to make it is wrong, to support with ashes of nick every day celebration is taking place today all across the people's republic of the guns not only here in the capital, one in towns and villages all across new liberated areas, symbolic victory, banners, morales and res center, and frank blinds. cities with a joint, russia republican forces relentless advance, many believe and not a victory is just around the corner. and soon people's republic of la guns will see its entire territory regained riven ocean. i'm naughty from logan's.

military parades were held in cities across the country earlier on monday, with the largest taken place in moscow. has some of the highlights from weight square. ah large scale parades for placing 27 other russians cities besides the capital. although many fly overs were cancelled due to bad weather conditions that did not

detract from the magnificence of the occasion. he has images from the spectacular bit today parades in different russian cities. ah, during his victory parade speech, vladimir putin praise the immense sacrifice made by the soviet people some 27000000 people lost their lives. and also drew parallels between the current conflict in ukraine and the fight against the 3rd wife. name your muscles that will have everything pointed to the class. you can neo nazi follows the u. s. one that satellite put the stakeholder and was something that had to happen. you'll go a lot though, it was becoming more and more dangerous to every passage and russia prevented this

. we had to do that. it was timely, and it was the only right thing to do. it was a decision, a strong sovereign and hadn't been in country. you are fighting for your homeland and its future to ensure that no one forgets lessons is the 2nd. that there is no place in the world. execution is punishes, not. you've given me a call to sleep closely. latimer putting, 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 for right now. well, i'd be injured, perhaps, well dying, they're a, 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 19 forty's. 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, her name as a sort of a woman. we know the 2940, 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 you put it by refraining or postponing the most urgent and obvious preparations that had to make a defendant from an eminence attack. when it finally admitted it was too late. but as a result, the country was not prepared to counter the invasion by nazi germany, which attacked motherland on june. the 22nd 1941 without every law got the country stopped, the enemy went on to defeat it. but this came, it's a tremendous cause. the attempt to appease the aggressive head of the great patriotic war proved to be a mistake, which came at a high cost for our people. or in the 1st months after the hostilities broke out.

we lost vast territories and strategic importance, as well as millions of law. he wasn't that we have no right to make the same mistake again or thought about how nathan was exploiting territories around russia and how it didn't listen to russia's world 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 1945, 4440 great, basically throughout the whole, the entirety of the world war when it is being if not a raise, 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 fascist so, and this is, this is something that russia has repeatedly said that it won't stand for it, it won't just stand idle and watch how history, how these,

how basically that is being is being rewritten. and were you raised from, from history that was a goes down of commentating to people in the northeast and they access allies was of course, a global effort. we discussed the role and sacrifice of india in the 2nd world war, as well as current new daily moscow ties with. in napa swollen, this head of the peninsula foundation and a veteran of india's, a force indian participation in the 2nd one has been huge and significant. india contributed a huge number. one is the largest one until military participated in the 2nd world. 2.4000000 people are complements. we huge bravery and the other station of the soviet forces were instrumental in reading germany. i am rolling back to new york nation but, but also because we and my be in almost losses that you on,

on the book with losses and be back the nazi germany, the india, russia strategic partnership is not just about as the west beans just or more dependency on, on the imports, it goes far beyond people, the people contact that's been built over more than half a century a relationship india is considered. although aspirations not come under pressure, a lot big pressure from the western countries in this particular if they can very, when it comes to that one of the countries that sustained the heaviest casualties during the 2nd world war with china, the country lost more than 15000000 people during the war while fighting against imperialist japan, an alternate in the western russian city of yvonne ever became an international children's shelter, including the needy from china. some of them even went on to serve on the front lines while others, while still children helped care for the wounded boats to the orphanage. r t heard some of the moving stories.

ah, yep. or restored. i just remembered that i was born in moscow, 936, and then when the great patriotic world gatty, 941, 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 old 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 our age, 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, vision, with the dog. i have the fondest memories from life in the orphanage. even in such travel difficult times. it was my golden childhood and i think we received a very good spiritual education there. the russian teachers, but also education in the orphanage instilled in me a love for my us from my profession. so i want to give my heart fell thanks to not

only to my corey over for teachers, but to all the educators to all our teachers in soviet schools. because they told me how to be a good person. mm. versus invested to poland has been doused with weight paint during the so many paid tribute to soviet soldiers in warsaw the ambush came from a nearby crowd waving ukrainian flags. and it's not clear if any suspects have been detained. so get entry, if was i should away from the scene by police officers for his own safety. the ambassador says neither he nor other diplomats were injured in the attack. marshals foreign ministry spokeswoman has condemned what happened saying the countries embassy will issue a protest to poland and he has another incident this time from the german capital where so get flag was covered with black tape. a group of people in berlin also tried to stop a choir from singing during victory days celebrations. ah,

but any now to his victory de address, vladimir putin accuse western powers of fanning the flames of anti russian sentiment and allegedly trying to wipe out the soviet contribution to victory over the nazis. let's now examine that current attempted cancellation of russian history and culture. as the conflicts in ukraine goes on, western countries have been trying to twist sudden positive history, especially the role of the soviet union in fighting fascism and naziism. the desecration o 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. every thing that is happening in poland now is happening in violation of bilateral gorgeous andy gnomes of civilized communication. traditional tokens of awareness have not escaped attention 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, 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 in trying 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, says he. 99041 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 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 life 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 than that says launched a surprise attack on the ussr. in june 1941, the, the soviet union joined the anti nasa struggle. but 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. mrs. timber muslims. i'm sure we hear that lately. the west, there are more and more warts that the documents signed by the soviet 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. you are sacred now, but if i give them a while to discuss this topic further, we cross life now to political analysts. nicolette medical h. thank you so much for joining us. the russian ambassador to poland has been danced with paint while trying to get a memorial. why would anyone do that and is that really acceptable on a day? like today? that symbolizes piece. we can ask ourselves tonight,

what has happened to the rock in warsaw? this is a terrible act, and it's not a political. it's not a recruiting tape combinations. the drums of war being against in europe today. and we have a new occasion to remember that your people have been able to unite to fight, get total terrorism to fight against novice and fashioned side can tire. and so this is a de respect today that's your people's had to take together to commemorate this victory and maybe how to come back in the current situation with one situation today. instead of that active, it took advantage of the situation to doubt diplomat with pain. let's not forget that. all right, russia have signed a conventional diplomatic relations in this convention article tonight. it is explicitly written that the receiving fate of pulling past to take all the necessary steps to protect that were due to protect the diplomat. freedom person

and dignity. this is what civilized do we installed after world war 2 so. so countries peacefully and more sought did not respect that they should have protected the system or whatever they are on the, on the policy. so that if you have the diplomat because that's the way civilized countries weren't together, this is attack against deformity. this is a fact against piece. this is a very back paid back on behalf of those conducted it's not interesting. peaceful collaboration to open up the shame for tonight. well, obviously the, the pony government was unable to prevent the incident from happening. but how do you expect it to respond now? well i think definitely it has to find sort responsible to being a search of a content for.
