Russia's President Vladimir Putin reiterated his country's readiness to combat external threats during his speech at Moscow's Red Square on Victory Day. The annual May 9 procession commemorates the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II and serves as a platform for Putin to showcase Russia's military strength and rally public support.
Despite a smaller display of soldiers and military equipment compared to previous years, Putin emphasized Russia's commitment to preventing global confrontation while maintaining readiness to defend against any threats. He acknowledged the challenging period Russia is going through and highlighted the importance of unity in defending the motherland.
