Putin Speech LIVE | Russia Victory Day 2026 | Putin Speaks at Victory Day Military Parade at Moscow
Russia held its most scaled-back Victory Day parade in years on Saturday (May 9) due to the threat of attack from Ukraine, where victory for Moscow’s forces has proven elusive more than four years into the deadliest European conflict since World War Two.
The May 9 parade on Red Square marks Russia’s most revered national holiday – a time to celebrate the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany and to pay homage to the 27 million Soviet citizens, including many from Ukraine, who perished.
Once used to show off Russia’s vast military, including its nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missiles, the parade this year had no tanks or other military equipment rolling over the cobbles of Red Square.
In his speech at the parade, Russian President Vladimir Putin compared the events of World War Two with events of today’s conflict in Ukraine and said the Russia will prevail, like USSR prevailed in World War Two.
