Russia’s “Victory Day” parade, marking the anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany, lacked the pageantry of previous years.
With much of its wartime resources tied up in the Ukraine war, Russia marked Victory Day with a single WWII-era T-34 tank.
Russian president Vladimir Putin kicked off the event with a fiery speech. Putin claimed that the West had “unleashed” a war against his homeland and that society is at a “turning point.”
