what we wonlt be seeing here is any kind of western leaders that have mainly decided to snub this event over russia's involvement in ukraineit's allegedly backing the pro-russian rebels in ukraine and because of that, the president of the united states and most european union leaders as well decided to stay away. that's not been the attitude of other leaders in the world, though. the chinese president, he's here standing next to vladimir putin in red square. so is the indian president. so i think, you know, it's very symbolic this day. it's meant to be a commemoration of the alliance that defeated nazi germany 70 years ago but in the context of the politics today it's very symbolic of the gap, of the distance between russia and the west. >>> matthew, you're putting it into perspective for what's happening now but talk to us also about the history. the simple fact that they're still finding soldiers that were killed -- who were found where they were killed on the ground. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. according to the russian defense ministry there are still as many as 4 million russian soldiers or soviet soldiers still u

pretty natural that western leaders would boycott this event, because after all the whole purpose is to demonstrate russia's military might. russia has been militarily aaggressive in ukraine so i think it would be rather inconsistent for western leaders to attend this celebration of the russian military. >> notably chinese president was standing right next to putin during the military parade. that sort of is an interesting relationship that seems to have developed more ever since western sanctions have been put in place. are we seeing sort of a realignment of east versus west with russia and china on one side and western countries on the other? >> definitely putin is reaching out to china to compensate for the deterioration of relations with western europe and they are talking about a gas line eventually, about providing military, russia providing military equipment and so on and so forth. i don'ti don't know that putin around his allies in the kremlin can really count on china as a strong support to counter balance western europe, but they're certainly moving in that direction. >> so the next day after the celebrations, german chancellor merkel did meet. did germany's wo
