The military parade in Moscow honors the victory of the Soviet Union over the Nazi regime and takes place on Red Square. Due to the war in Ukraine, special security measures have been implemented to minimize potential threats.
Putin views the parade as an opportunity to position Russia in the fight against "destructive ideas," according to Berliner Zeitung. This message is particularly directed at the West and aims to underscore Russia's determination.
Additionally, Süddeutsche Zeitung emphasizes that the parade serves not only as a remembrance but is also interpreted as a demonstration of military strength. The security measures reflect the tense geopolitical situation shaped by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
