horror of global war did not repeat. and therefore, despite all the differences in international relations. russia has always advocated the creation of a system equal and indivisible to the security of a system that is vital to the entire world community. in december last year, we proposed to conclude a security guarantee agreement. russia called on the west to have an honest dialogue, to search for reasonable compromise solutions, taking into account each other's interests. all in vain, the nato countries did not want to hear us. and this means that in fact, they had completely different plans, and we saw it openly, preparations were underway for another punitive operation in the donbass, an invasion of our historical lands, including crimea. in kiev , the nato bloc announced the possible acquisition of nuclear weapons began active military development of the

territories adjacent to us in this way systematically. absolutely unacceptable threats were created for us, and directly at our borders. everything indicated that a clash with him by the nazi bandera, on which the united states and their junior companions would bet, would be inevitable again. we have seen the military infrastructure unfold. how hundreds of foreign advisers began to work, there were regular deliveries of the most modern weapons and nato countries, the danger grew every day russia gave a preemptive rebuff to aggression. it was forced, a timely and the only correct decision of a sovereign independent country. the united states of america, especially after the collapse of the soviet union, started talking about its exclusivity. humiliating, thereby, not only the whole

world, but also their satellites, who have to pretend that they do not notice anything and meekly swallow it all, but we are a different country, russia has a different character. we will never give up love for the motherland from faith and traditional values ​​from the customs of the ancestors out of respect for all peoples and cultures, the main guests on this solemn day, of course, veterans of the great patriotic war in the west, millennial values, apparently, they decided to cancel such moral degradation became the basis of cynical falsifications of the history of the second world war. undermining the courage of those who won and suffered victory, we know that american veterans who wanted to come to the parade in moscow

actually forbidden to do this, but i want them to know we are proud of your exploits and your contribution to the common victory. we honor all the soldiers of the allied army of the americans, the british, the french, the participants in the resistance, the brave soldiers and partisans of china, all who defeated nazism and militarism. dear comrades, today the militiamen of donbass, together with the fighters of the russian army, are fighting on their own land, where the fighters of svyatoslav and vladimir monomakh defeated the enemy, the soldiers of rumyantsev and potemkin suvorov and brusilov, where they stood to death heroes of the great patriotic war nikolai vatutin sidorovka lyudmila pavlichenko i now appeal to our armed forces and to the militiamen of donbass, you are fighting for the motherland, for its future, so that

no one forgets the lessons of world war ii, so that there is no place in the world for executioners and nazis. today we bow our heads before the bright memory of all the lives taken by the great patriotic war before the memory of our sons. daughters of fathers, mothers, grandfathers , husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, dear friends, we bow our heads before the memory of the martyrs of odessa burned alive in the house of trade unions in may 2014 in front of the memory of the starikov, women, children of donbass , civilians who died from the ruthless shelling of the barbaric strikes of neo-nazis. we bow our heads before our comrades-in-arms, who finger the death of the brave in a righteous battle for russia, a moment of silence is declared. vladimir putin

appeals to the armed forces of the russian federation and the militia of donbass the death of each of our soldiers and officers. this is grief for all of us and an irreparable loss for family and friends. the state, the regions, the enterprises, the public organizations will do everything to surround such families with care, help them, provide special support to the children of the dead and wounded comrades. the decree of the president on this was signed today. i wish the wounded soldiers and officers a speedy recovery, and i thank the doctors, paramedics, nurses, medical personnel of military hospitals for their selfless

work, for fighting, for every life, often under fire on the front line without sparing yourself. dear comrades, now here on red square soldiers and officers from many regions of our vast motherland stand shoulder to shoulder, including those who arrived directly from the donbass directly from the combat zone. we remember how the enemies of russia tried to use gangs of international terrorists against us, tried to sow national and religious enmity in order to weaken us from within, nothing worked. today, our fighters of different nationalities, together in battle, cover each other from shrapnel bullets, like brothers. and this is the great power of russia

the indestructible strength of our united multinational people. today you are defending what fathers and grandfathers, great-grandfathers fought for. for them, the highest meaning of life has always been the well-being and security of the homeland. and for us, their heirs of devotion from life, the main value, a reliable support of the independence of russia. those who crushed nazism during the great patriotic war showed us an example of heroism for all time. this generation of winners and we will always look up to them. glory to our valiant armed forces for russia for the victory cheers the
