Vladimir Putin has condemned Nato for supporting Ukraine’s fight against his invasion during his scaled-back Victory Day parade address. Speaking in Moscow’s Red Square as he marked the anniversary of the Soviet victory against Nazi Germany in the Second World War on Saturday (9 May), Putin said how the “generation of victors inspires the soldiers who carry out special military operations tasks today.” He then went on to say Ukraine is “armed and supported by the entire Nato bloc.” Nato and individual nations like the UK have been staunch in their support for Ukraine since Russia invaded in 2022.
