Mixed Emotions on Victory Day in Russia
TL;DR Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin used the annual Victory Day parade to launch yet another scathing attack on the West, accusing it of holding Ukraine hostage to its anti-Russian plans. The parade itself was a more modest event, with only one tank on display, and no flypast above Red Square. Meanwhile, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un congratulated Russia on its annual Victory Day in a letter to Putin, and the UN says no grain ships have been inspected for the past two days as Ukraine blames Russia for delays.
