Russia held a massive Victory Day parade in Moscow, commemorating the Soviet Union's defeat of Nazi Germany, with leaders from over 20 countries in attendance. The event was used by President Putin to project strength and unity, even as Russia faces economic challenges and diplomatic isolation due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The Kremlin sought to draw parallels between past and present conflicts, aiming to rally domestic and international support. Despite the show of military might, cracks in Russia's global alliances and internal stability remain evident. The parade also saw increased Western media presence, signaling a potential shift in international relations.
