Milan, May 8 (LaPresse) – "A parade of bile and lies." This is how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the parade scheduled for May 9 in Moscow as part of Russia's Victory Day celebrations, which commemorate the defeat of Nazism in World War II. In a video recorded on Kyiv's main thoroughfare, Khreshchatyk, Zelensky contrasted "the life on Independence Square with the parade of fear on Red Square." In Moscow, "there will be a parade of cynicism. It cannot be called anything else. A parade of spite and lies. As if it wasn’t dozens of allied states, but Putin himself who defeated Nazism. As if he personally raised the victory flag over the Reichstag in Berlin. Thank God, Ukraine escaped all that, escaped that swamp. Thank God, Ukraine has not forgotten that 80 years ago dozens of nations fought against Nazism," the Ukrainian president said.
