“We will not allow anyone to threaten us. Our strategic forces are always on alert,” he said, adding that Russia will do everything possible to prevent “a world collision.”
The Russian president also denounced that “revanchism” is part of the policy of Western elites who are encouraging new regional conflicts.
“We reject the claims of exclusivity by any state or alliance. We know where the exorbitance of such ambitions leads,” Putin stated.

“The West would like to forget the lessons of World War II. However, we remember that the fate of humanity was decided in the grand battles of Moscow and Leningrad, Rzhev, Stalingrad, Kursk, Kharkov, Minsk, Smolensk, and Kiev, as well as in bloody battles from Murmansk to the Caucasus and Crimea,” he said.
“Today we see attempts to distort the truth about World War II. It bothers those who are accustomed to building a policy of colonial fact upon hypocrisy and lies,” Putin pointed out.
“They tear down memorials to fighters against Nazism and put traitors and accomplices of the Nazis on pedestals. They tarnish the memory of noble and heroic soldiers who sacrificed themselves for life’s sake.”

During the Victory Day parade in the Red Square, the Russian leader called for a minute of silence in honor of those who defeated Nazism.
“We bow our heads to the veterans of the Great Patriotic War who have passed away and to our fallen comrades-in-arms in the fight against Nazism,” declared Putin.
“Victory Day unites all generations. We move forward supported by our centuries-old traditions. We trust that together we will ensure a free and secure future for Russia, our united people!” he stressed.
