Vladimir Putins speech at the Victory Parade

➖ The defense of the Motherland is always sacred. You are fighting for our people in the Donbass, for the security of our Motherland

➖Russia has always advocated the creation of a system of equal and indivisible security. Our duty is to keep the memory of those who crushed Nazism

➖Russia gave a preemptive rebuff to aggression. The start of the operation in Ukraine is a forced decision by a strong, sovereign, independent country

➖NATO countries did not want to hear us, they had completely different plans, preparations were underway for an attack on Crimea, the alliance began military development of the territories adjacent to us, everything indicated that a clash with neo-Nazis would be inevitable

➖Today Donbass militias, together with the Russian army, are fighting on their own land

➖Loyalty to the Fatherland is the main value. Glory to our valiant armed forces! For Russia! For victory!
