💬 "China is also a victor of the Second World War. And a few months later, President Putin will also come to China to celebrate China's victory against the Japanese aggression. So I think this is a big moment for Russia, but also for the whole world," he told Sputnik.

💬 "It is an important period which has defined the world from 1945 to the present. And it is therefore an important experience for me and my country to at least have an opportunity to celebrate," he stressed.

💬 “This is a great ceremony – not only for Russia, but for people around the world. I’m really glad we have the chance to cover the story of the Russian people and their nation.”

💬 "Today we are all united by feeling the strength of the people of the world."
