Russia hosts world leaders for the 80th anniversary of its defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is set to host the leaders of China, Brazil and other heads of states for festivities on Friday marking the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. Victory Day, which is celebrated in Russia on May 9, has become the country’s most important secular holiday. A massive parade through Red Square and other ceremonies underline Moscow’s efforts to project its power and cement the alliances it has forged while seeking a counterbalance to the West amid the 3-year-old war in Ukraine.

  4. France did not participate in the defeat of NAZI because it was defeated in the first 3 days of WW2. Thank's to Russia, we now have an independent France ready to send troops to "defeat" the Russians 😹😹

  10. Despite all the efforts of the US, Nato, EU and others, Russia is not isolated. Them not being present at the parade is their choice and they won't be missed.

  12. No one is isolating Russia – just western countries 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I don’t watch F24 for this reason always inflating lies
