well, we continue our live broadcast from manezhnaya square, from where the parade of the mechanized unit began in honor of the 70th anniversary of the victory, the great patriotic war, where this parade ended a few minutes ago from here, just along mokhovaya street. ah, all the armored vehicles and all the vehicles

that just participated in the mechanized part of the paranatics left right now, residents and guests of moscow are gathering somewhere in the smolenskaya novy arbat area to see the passage of the mechanized column that is already leaving moscow. unfortunately, the weather did not allow the formation of the air part of the parade. as such, it has already happened in history, and in 2019 and in 2017 in 1945, because exactly the same weather as we have already determined at the very beginning of our world. it's very similar to the weather. let's go now. let us recall the words that vladimir putin addressed from the podium today. e to those gathered to the guests of honor and to the military. 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 strength 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 ur women's also today during

her speech. this is another very touching tradition. of course, when the head of state announces a minute of silence in memory of those who died on the fields of the great patriotic war, but today this minute of silence was also declared in memory of those of our compatriots who died doing their duty in the donbass today we bow our heads before the bright the memory of all. whose life was taken away by the great patriotic war before the memory of sons? daughters of the fathers of the mothers of the grandfathers of the husbands of the wives, brothers of the sisters of the close friends, we bow our heads before the memory of the martyrs of odessa, who

were burned alive in the house of trade unions in may 2014 before the memory of the old women, the children of the donbass, civilians who died from the ruthless shelling of the barbaric strikes of the 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. m dead in the defense of donbass as emphasized

president, the death of every soldier and officer is grief for all of us and not in fulfillment of the loss for his relatives and friends. in addition, the state will provide assistance to the wounded. the cash register has already been signed by the president today, but right now we have the opportunity to learn about what exactly is happening on red square at that moment. anton podkolenko continues to work there on the scale anton yes, i welcome you. it would seem that here on red square the roar of motors of mechanized columns, which completed the current parade of 2022, has died down year, and the invited guests begin to gradually disperse. many still stay here to communicate. and in this one, well, it would seem after the roar of engines. it would seem already some silence. you know , i remember more and more clearly why the parade began with a company of standard-bearers of drummers, and the guard of honor and then the current parade were opened by cadets

of almost all military universities and military schools of the country, by the way, for the first time , cadets of the murmansk branch of the nakhimov military school participated in this parade. maritime school. total in the current parade was attended by 33 e, on foot ceremonial calculation of this military personnel of almost all branches of the armed forces, these are the ground forces and a- a aerospace forces and e, the forces of the navy also had a regiment of the strategic missile forces, a regiment of the fsb of russia of the ministry of emergency situations of russia were airmen, of course , who marched in a particularly dashing manner. you can tell from red square. if we talk about personal impressions, this is, of course, a subjective opinion, but, for example, i really liked the monolithic one-piece one. they walked like one man step uh, sailors and cadets of naval schools, if we talk about the guests and those invited to

today's holiday, then, of course, everyone who came to red square today has the st. george ribbon on their lapel as a symbol of devastation. the wrong soviet union became recognizable all over the world , whether the western world likes it or not, and uh, many still noticed the st. in ukraine and donbass the main guests of today's celebration of today's parade. veterans of the great patriotic war, of course, were invited to red square 590 veterans were invited, i must say that very comfortable conditions were created, they were carefully brought up on electric cars, e to the podium of the podium, made in the colors of the russian tricolor of the russian flag, and volunteer

social workers saw off, firstly, they helped the veterans get here to red square; secondly, they escorted them to their places, those best points from which, uh, veterans the great patriotic war watched what was happening on red square, indeed today there was something to see and foot columns and mechanized columns all the power and grace of modern russian. military equipment passed before our eyes today, i must say that, of course, those who went through the fire of that war of the great patriotic war, there are fewer and fewer of them, but with the same pride they carry it with indelible pride. e, a veteran of the great patriotic war. his awards, his orders and medals. we were talking today with these people. you know, of course, i would like to note that they say this more than once, and each time you are convinced of the extraordinary strength of spirit, strength of character, the firmness of these people of

determination. you really are talking to veterans. you understand what a real liberator soldier is, in general today on the podium. we still heard people talking among themselves, emphasizing the significance of today and today's holiday, they said that today is the most important day for all of us in memory, without exaggeration, holy day for all russians, the day the memory that e allows us to preserve the state of our country allows us to resist numerous, especially in recent times, and especially to expel attempts to rewrite world and russian history. and the fact that this memory is still alive is that we really keep it. really. uh, apparently, here on red square, the best proof of this is the very parade that literally just ended colleagues. attention, thank you our colleague. anton podkovenko works on

red square. uh, there, he saw his eyes. and how the parade began, how this parade went, as it was seen by all the assembled guests of honor. well, of course, there is another tradition here, which we also broadcast live, and which became, uh, good, of course, memorable traditions from previous years. this is, uh, the laying of a wreath and the laying of flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier, as well as at the memorials of hero cities. this traditionally follows immediately after the end of the parade, and this year this tradition was also celebrated by vladimir putin along with veterans on foot, and went just to the alexander garden. uh, they also honored the memory of those who died in the great patriotic war for a minute of silence. the president , along with about 600 veterans of

combat operations. today we were on red square. in total, in russia, according to data for 2022. 66,000 direct participants in the hostilities in the great patriotic war remained alive. if we talk about the home front workers, and the inhabitants of besieged leningrad, that is, here we are talking about an average of one million people, unfortunately, inevitably with every year. this figure becomes smaller in his speech. uh, just before the start of the parade in honor of the seventy-seventh anniversary of the victory in the great patriotic war. vladimir putin also spoke a lot about the geopolitical situation that has now developed in the world. and here, of course, you can remember that very ninety-fifth year, from which we began . this tradition of annual parades, when , uh, they arrived at that parade. i'll read it now, general secretary. he will times be taken apart by us president bill clinton

british prime minister john major, president of the people's republic of china uncle lands prime minister of canada jean-creatine and others. this is the ninety-fifth year. but now the situation in the world is completely different. moreover, vladimir putin recalled, and then they said that they would not expand to the east. true, the guarantee was oral. but when already in december of this year, as vladimir putin spoke today on red square, we demanded. stop a written agreement that would spell out a guarantee of russia's security, including and, by the way, have already been violated more than once. yes , including not the expansion of nato to the east. actually, it turned out that the north atlantic alliance was not ready for a dialogue. let's listen to just a snippet of e from e from the president's speech. russia has always advocated the creation of a system equal and indivisible to security, a system that is vital to the entire world community. in december last year, we proposed to conclude a security guarantee agreement. russia urged the west to have an honest dialogue, to find

reasonable compromise solutions to take into account the interests each other. 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 to invade our historical lands, including crimea. in kiev, they announced the possible acquisition of nuclear weapons, the nato bloc began active military development of the territories adjacent to us in this way systematically. absolutely unacceptable threats were created for us. moreover , directly at our borders, the danger grew with every day russia gave, anticipating paragresses. it was forced to timely and the only correct decision. the decision of a sovereign

independent country of an independent independent russia will be, first of all, selflessness and courage, and the russian people also spoke about this today, the president on red square remembered and the militia of minin and pozharsky and of course, the events of 1812 military against napoleon and now we will fast forward just again to red square to st. basil's cathedral to the monument, by the way, to minin and please, which the truth is now under reconstruction , our colleague maria kudryavtseva works there. maria, you have the floor. remember more france gates. yes, russia has only two true friends. this is the army and fleet good afternoon from here from the side of the pokrovsky cathedral is excellent. you can see red square. and, of course , the victory parade was perfectly visible on the cobblestones

. modern district students cadets of military schools of suvorov schools, as well as representatives of the young army and representatives of other law enforcement agencies and the all-russian cossack army, president vladimir putin noted that this year, in the parade this year, including the participation of military personnel who arrived from the donbass, according to tradition, at the very beginning there were drummers of the banner group, who carried along pavement of red square is a symbol of victory in the great patriotic war. this is the banner of victory as well as the state flag of russia and the banner of the armed forces, but in total i will remind you that in 2022 11,000 people and 131 participate in the parade. technology podgul motors on red square during the exit of mechanized parts. the

legendary t-34-85 tank was the first to appear; it is called the best tank of the great patriotic war. behind him along red square. passed armor. on typhoon k and typhoon airborne forces, as well as infantry fighting vehicles, and let me remind you that typhoon k is a family of new armored vehicles for the airborne forces and air defense forces that can be parachuted in by parachute . and t-90m breakthrough, i note that e the t-14 armata tank is the only tank in the world of the third post-war generation completely russian development. it was first demonstrated here at the parade on may 9, 2015. tanks were followed by tornado-g multiple rocket launchers across red square. last year, let me remind you that we participated here in

the parade of the tornado s system, and we also saw here today and the guests were pleased. we saw their scander missile systems and self-propelled artillery mounts in stas and here. copper is a numerical change. at part of the parade. this year, the number of self-propelled artillery mounts has increased. msta-s. uh, there were four last year. this year, eight installations were presented, and the number of zenith launchers on s-400 21 missile systems also increased. missile systems. thor m2 and book m3 they are called a shock tandem. after all , tor m2 is a representative of a new generation there are few air defense systems and the range of the letters m3 is the average range, it turns out the unified automated air defense control system, which distributes targets

through the dome system. well, three launchers of yars missile systems have completed the passage of the column, now the official part. the truth is complete we see that the stands are empty, but the guests still do not disperse, communicate with each other and very soon we are waiting for the immortal regiment, which will pass here along the cobblestones of red square. yes, thanks to maria kudryavtseva who told us that the most spectacular footage was taking place, showing, in fact, the parade of this and, uh, the passage of military boxes. and, of course, the passage of military equipment, of course, is more visible, everything, of course, in the body of the broadcast, well, to feel this power of multi-ton guns of multi-ton machines. uh, for this it’s just worth coming to the center of moscow, there are a lot of places where you can watch the walkthrough. just military equipment. people. they even

shared the most spectacular places on the internet, even made a map. where can you watch the passage of military equipment with your own eyes, of course, at least once in your life you need it. it is natural to pay attention, but in his speech today, and before the parade, vladimir putin, as we have already said, also drew attention to the geopolitical situation. i remember the same, of course. even history, because from the forty-first to the forty-fifth year is in a fragment of his speech, which we recently showed. he spoke a lot about the national character of our people, which then and now shoulder to shoulder people of different nationalities of different nations are fighting one common enemy. it was then fought with nazism. this was also in february of this year, when many nationalities were also shoulder to shoulder. also got up shoulder. uh shoulder to

shoulder with each other in order to resist such a twist of fate is also the most threat. and, uh, that's what the president was talking about today, too. today, the militia of donbass, together with the fighters of the russian army, are fighting on their own land, where the fighters of svyatoslav and vladimir monomakh, the soldiers of rumyantsev and potemkin, suvorov and brusilov, defeated the enemy, where heroes of the great patriotic war fought to the death nikolai vatutin sidorov kavka lyudmila pavlichenko i now turn to our armed forces of the ik militias. donbass, you are fighting for the motherland, for its future, so that no one forgets the lessons of the second world war, so that there is no place in the world for executioners and nazis. how can you forget the second world war when all the history that is

developing now does not allow them to forget about those lessons that, just uh, everyone took out then in the forties on dmitry that's right now we need there is an opportunity to listen, and the words of the president, and bukhazia, which was signed in accordance with this, we indicate the state will provide assistance to support the children and families of servicemen who died during the special operation to protect donbass. in addition, assistance will be provided to the wounded. the death of each of our soldiers and officers is grief for all of us and an irreparable loss for relatives and friends state regions enterprises public organizations will do everything to surround such families with care help them provide special support children of the dead and wounded.
