Russia’s 80th Anniversary of WWII Victory Amidst Ukraine Conflict
On the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s defeat, Russia plans a grand military parade in Red Square to showcase its strength, despite economic struggles and limited battlefield advances in Ukraine. While President Putin downplays challenges like falling oil prices and increasing sanctions, he remains steadfast in his aggressive policies, rejecting peace proposals from former President Trump. The event, attended by leaders from countries like China and Brazil, aims to project a narrative of resilience, despite the Kremlin’s dwindling economic stability.
