Heroic Feat of WWII Victors Inspires Soldiers in Special Military Operation - Putin
07:19 GMT 09.05.2026 (Updated: 09:21 GMT 09.05.2026) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The great feat of the victorious generation inspires the participants of the special military operation, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a parade marking the 81st anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War.
"The great feat of the victorious generation inspires the soldiers who are today carrying out the tasks of the special military operation," the Russian president said.
It was the Soviet people who saved the entire world from Nazism, Putin said.
"We will always remember the feat of the Soviet people. That it was they who made the decisive contribution to the defeat of Nazism, saved their country, and saved the world. They put an end to total, merciless evil. They restored sovereignty to those states that had capitulated to Nazi Germany and become obedient accomplices in its crimes," Putin said.
Soviet soldiers endured huge losses to save Europe, he added.
"Our soldiers endured colossal losses, colossal sacrifices, for the sake of the freedom and dignity of the peoples of Europe. They became the embodiment of courage and nobility, resilience and humanity, and crowned themselves with the great glory of a monumental victory," he said.
On Special Military Operation Soldiers
Putin noted that Russian soldiers are confronting an aggressive force that is supported and armed by the entire NATO bloc.
"Despite this, our heroes are moving forward," he emphasized.
Russia is building modern weapons based on combat experience, he added.
"Alongside the Russian soldiers are workers and designers, engineers, scientists, inventors. They continue the traditions of their predecessors, relying on modern combat experience to create advanced, unique weapons, and launch their mass production," Putin said during his address at the Victory Day parade.
The fate of Russia is decided by its people, by all its citizens, Putin said.
"No matter how the equipment and methods of combat change, the main thing remains unchanged - the fate of the country is decided by people: soldiers and factory workers, agricultural workers, gunsmiths and war correspondents, doctors and teachers, cultural figures and clergy, volunteers, entrepreneurs, philanthropists - all citizens of Russia," Putin said.
Caring for the Fatherland unites all of Russia
Preserving the memory of the Great Patriotic War is a matter of honor for Russians
