Putin congratulates parade participants on Victory Day

"Revanchism, the mockery of history and the striving to justify current followers of Nazism are part of the Western elites’ general policy of instigating ever new regional conflicts, interethnic and inter-religious strife and containing sovereign, independent centers of world development," the Russian leader said.

Russia will do everything to prevent a global clash, says Putin. Putin calls revanchism part of Western elites’ policy of stirring up new conflicts. Russia does not allow anyone to threaten it and its strategic forces are always at the ready.

West tries to incite global conflicts, interethnic hostility, restrain sovereign development centers. During first years of Great Patriotic War, USSR fought alone against Nazism while entire Europe worked for Hitler. Russia does not belittle role of second front in World War II. Future of Russia depends on everyone, we must look up to generation of winners in Great Patriotic War.

Russia to withdraw troops from Armenia

Yerevan had requested a military deployment in 2020 amid tensions with neighboring Azerbaijan, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

Relations between Armenia and neighboring Azerbaijan have been strained since the collapse of the USSR, when the predominantly Armenian population inhabiting Azerbaijan’s Nagorno-Karabakh region proclaimed independence from Baku. A series of bloody conflicts have since been fought between the two countries over the territory. The last military confrontation saw Azerbaijan retake the restive region.  

Interfax quoted Peskov as explaining that “in the autumn of 2020, at Armenia’s request, our military personnel and border guards were deployed to several Armenian regions.” He confirmed that Nikol Pashinyan had “said that today, due to the different circumstances, there is no longer such a need for the deployment, so President Putin agreed, and the withdrawal of our military and border guards was agreed."

NATO troops already in Ukraine – Polish PM

Donald Tusk made the claim in an interview with a 10-year-old girl.

Tusk made the comments on Wednesday, answering a question from a ten-year-old girl who was among the accredited reporters at the Polish parliament and asked why the UN or NATO had not intervened in Ukraine yet.

“NATO today is helping as much as it can. Without NATO’s help, Ukraine would not have been able to defend itself for so long,” Tusk replied, according to a translation of his remarks.

“Well, and there are some troops there, I mean soldiers. There are some soldiers there. Observers, engineers. They’re helping them out,” he added.

The child reporter, identified by Polish media as Sara Malecka-Trzaskos, had asked Tusk how the Yugoslav conflict ended, bringing up the deployment of UN peacekeepers in the 1990s.
