Vladimir Putin accuses "Western elites" of sowing "hatred and Russophobia" in annual Victory Day speech

[Social Media]

Summary

1. President Vladimir Putin has told Moscow's Victory Day parade that the world is at a "turning point", as some events around the country are scaled back due to security concerns
2. The annual military parade commemorates the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two
3. Putin again sought to link Russia's invasion of Ukraine to the struggle against Nazism, claiming that Russia was defending its sovereignty
4. There is a nervous mood in Moscow after recent drone attacks, which the Russian government attributed to pro-Ukraine forces - but which Kyiv has denied
5. Russia launched its biggest drone attack yet on Ukraine on Sunday night
6. Meanwhile, Ukraine - along with the rest of Europe - is celebrating Europe Day, which is aimed at promoting peace on the continent

What do you suggest we do? Even if Putin is bumped off, who's going to replace him? 

 

Russia is itching for confrontation and so is the West (supplying munitions to Ukraine is latent confirmation of that point). Don't get me wrong, I don't judge and not taking sides, I'm only looking at the bigger picture. 

 

I'd love to be able to predict the outcome of this special military operation, but I can't, and the possible outcome shouldn't be ignored.

You say your not taking sides then call it a special military operation!

 

Get a grip, its a full scale illegal invasion with numerous war crimes to account for from Russia.

In one breath he makes veiled nuclear threats, in the next, he whines about russophobia. What an absolute clown.

The Russian people are indeed in a difficult position sir when I see Russian soldiers killed I grieve even though they are enemy at this time I understand that for the most part they are doing as directed by the leadership of Russia I wish I had a magic answer to make this unjust war stop and for all concerned prosper and thrive sadly I think the Russian people need to make the changes nessary to achieve this it won’t be easy

For someone who said they don't judge and are not taking sides, then proceeds to call it a special military operation, excuse my interpretation of your meaning.

 

However claiming your not taking sides says it all. Russia are clearly in the wrong.

I've forgotten about the rights and wrongs because it doesn't make any difference to what's coming.

 

Please peruse my posts with care as it's all there.

You may have forgotten, millions haven't, especially those in Ukraine dying, being raped, murdered and executed.

When Putin is gone there will be civil war in Russia,instead of going back

to a mighty USSR Russia will break up in a lot of little states.The threat

will be over for a few centuries at least i hope.

Very soon the tide will turn as the Ukrainians will do their well prepared

counter attack.

Russian soldiers are fleeing already.

Cry on Xi’s shoulder, Vlad

Russian army went from second strongest in the world to second strongest in Ukraine.

[spidermike007]

No Vlad. You are sewing hatred for your very, very sorry nation. Nobody needs to do so. You are providing all the help you can, by behaving like the serial killing, genocidal monster, that you have always been.

I think Ukrainians can legitimately hate Russia for at least 50 years.

The West doesn't have to do that because you're doing an excellent job by yourself! ????????????
