Speaking at the parade, President Putin expressed gratitude for the sacrifices of veterans of the Great Patriotic War, soldiers and people who fell in the wars against neo-fascism, in the just fight for Russia.
“ May 9 is always an emotional, poignant day. Every family honors its heroes, looks at photos, at dear, dear faces, remembers relatives, stories about how they fought, how they worked. Victory Day unites all generations. We are moving forward, relying on centuries-old traditions, and we believe that together we will ensure a free, secure future for Russia, for our united people! Glory to the brave armed forces! For Russia! For victory! ”, Putin emphasized.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that more than 9,000 soldiers and about 75 weapons systems and military equipment were mobilized to participate in the parade in Moscow. Units participating in Russia's special military operation in Ukraine also sent representatives to the event.
This year’s event is significantly smaller than in previous years. The last Victory Day parade in 2023 on Red Square featured more than 10,000 Russian servicemen and 125 units of ground military equipment. Due to weather and other reasons, the Russian Air Force did not have a show of force at the event like last year.
In addition to the capital Moscow, Victory Day parades were also held in 25 other cities with headquarters of Russia's military districts, fleets and combined armed forces.
