Opinion: Putin's speech at the The Victory Parade speaks about the immutability of the Kremlin's strategy

President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin delivered a speech at Victory Day Parade in Moscow. Most of it was devoted to the Second World War and the contribution of the Soviet people to the victory over Nazism.

At the end of the speech, Putin made a number of statements on the war in Ukraine, where he stated that Russian troops "are resisting an aggressive force that is being armed and supported by the entire NATO bloc."

The Russian leader also said that Russian troops in Ukraine is "moving forward," and "victory has always been and will always be ours." The entire speech of the head of state was short and lasted only 9 minutes.

Contrary to forecasts that the president's speech would have a fateful significance, no sensational and harsh statements were made against Russia's enemies.

Putin's speech in general terms repeated what he said at the parades on May 9 in recent years. According to some observers, this is a sign that the Kremlin's strategy now does not imply any drastic changes.

That is, Moscow is betting on the continuation of the war of attrition in the expectation that the current geopolitical changes in the world will sooner or later strategically turn the situation in favor of the Russian Federation.

Recall that a Victory Parade was held on Red Square in Moscow in honor of the 81st anniversary of the feat of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War.

Earlier, EADaily reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia on the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
