President Vladimir Putin organizes Russian celebrations for the 80s. The anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. The result of the war, which began in Ukraine, remains by far certain certain.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, Brazilian leader Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico are among the leaders of more than 20 countries who join Putin at the annual victory of May 9. The leaders from Egypt, Venezuela, Cuba, Vietnam and Zimbabwe, along with the former Soviet states such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, will also participate in the leaders from Egypt, Venezuela, Vietnam and Zimbabwe.
The victory of the Soviet Union for 27 million lives in the so -called Great Patriotic War from 1941 to 1945 is etched in a common memory of families across the former communist superpower, including Ukraine and Russia.
The Kremlin was increasingly trying to cooperate this common history to collect the public support of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, by false throwing the government in Kiev, dominated by “fascists” and introduced Russian soldiers as descendants of soldiers who fought on Nacis. This is even though it was Russia that triggered the worst conflict of Europe since World War II by attacking Ukraine and occupying part of its territory.
While the Russians remember the victim of World War II to defeat Adolf Hitler “horror and pride”, Putin’s memories “are” an attractive way to justify contemporary aggression, “said Andrea Zubov, Russian historian who is currently a visiting professor at Masaryk University in Brno, Brno, Brno, in Brno, in Brno, in Brno Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno, Brno. There was no appeal to World War II, “Zubov said.” Because he could not, he was trying to lean on it. ”
Putin announced a three -day ceasefire in Ukraine from Thursday to the anniversary of World War II after trying to ensure a long -term agreement to stop the war during the first 100 days after returning to the White House. The dead end led to a growing frustration in Trump’s administration, which threatened to leave the interviews and consider new sanctions against Russia if the agreement is not soon reached.
Talking about the summit between Trump and Putin, with Saudi Arabia, maybe hosting, disappeared when the negotiations stopped. In the February telephone call, there was also silence about proposals for suggestions that both leaders visit the country.
Russia invited the US Ambassador to Moscow Lynne Tracy to a show of May 9. May, although it is not clear whether he will come, he told journalists foreign policy Kreml Yuri Ushakov to journalists.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned that Ukraine cannot guarantee the security of foreign officials participating in the show. He urged Russia to accept a 30 -day ceasefire, and did not bind that he had declared a 72 -hour ceasefire Putin.
Putin and XI launched bilateral conversations on Thursday as they seek to support the world -wide US order in favor of multipolar. Russia and China have “fully slammed partnerships and strategic interests”, Putin said. China will “definitely defend” its interests and interests of Russia and other developing countries, XI said.
Chinese troops are expected to march along with Russian soldiers on Red Square on Friday, the last demonstration of the friendship “without limits”, which two leaders declared shortly before the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Army from 13 countries will join the show, although North Korean troops will not be among Ushakov among them. This is after Putin thanked North Korea for sending soldiers last week to help Russian soldiers expel the Ukrainian forces that occupy part of the Russian border area of Kursk.
Fico, the only leader of the European Union planning to participate, complained that Estonia would not allow his plane to fly through the air space to Russia. In a video statement he called “a deliberate attempt at confusion of his visit to Moscow” and said he was working on a solution.
President of Azerbaijani Aliyeva canceled his planned visit to Moscow to attend events in his own country, while President Laos Thongloun also pulled out after ill with Covid, reported Tass News and quoted Ushakov.
While Europe means the victory of World War II on May 8, 1945, the formal Nazi German surrender came into force at the beginning of May 9 in Moscow. In 2023, Zelenskiy signed a law that switched the date of Ukraine to 8 May, which was in line with European allies.
Russia and Ukraine continued to strike the air against the capitals in front of Putin’s ceasefire, while Moscow and its suburbs faced Ukrainian attacks three times this week. Russian officials pointed out that Internet access in Moscow may be limited within security measures and residents reported disruption of the service during the Red Square show.
Trump’s administration said she was willing to recognize Russian possession of Crimea, the Black Sea Putin, which was empowered from Ukraine in 2014, and proposed freezing in the war mainly along the current battle lines and gave Moscow effective control over the occupied Ukrainian territories. He also indicated that it would facilitate the sweeping of economic sanctions against Russia and accepted Putin’s requirements for Ukraine to leave her goal to join NATO.
The Russian authorities are considering the “advantage on their side” and are not in a hurry to achieve the agreements, said Mikhail Vinogradov, head of the Political Foundation in St. Petersburg.
“Russia is ready for political settlement, assuming that his interests are taken into account,” said Andrea Sushesov, Dean of the International Relations School at Mgimo University in Moscow. “But it is also ready to achieve its goals by military means regardless of external pressure.”
Putin insists Russia to gain full control over four Eastern and Southern Ukraine regions, which do not completely work in any agreement to end the war.
“Russia seems to have decided on its maximalistic plans in Ukraine,” said Maria Snegovaya, head of Russia and Eurasia at the center of strategic and international studies. “Putin’s most likely procedure is to continue postponing conversations to avoid the fully annoying Donald Trump and at the same time intensify his pressure on Ukraine.”
Recent surveys of independent Levado Centers show that around 60% of Russians support peace interviews with about 30% in favor of continuing the fight, according to Denis Volkov, director of the Moscow survey. While public fatigue is growing, most believe that the decision on negotiations should be left to Putin, he said.
“The Russian authorities are doing everything possible to maintain the feeling of normal,” and the conflict for most people retreated to the background of everyday life, Volkov said.
