President Vladimir Putin vowed to pursue his invasion of Ukraine, accusing the Kremlin’s enemies of seeking to dismember Russia as his forces rained missiles on Kyiv. “A real war has once again been unleashed against our Motherland,” Putin said Tuesday in a brief speech on Red Square at the start of the annual military parade to celebrate the Soviet victory in World War II. The display of hardware was markedly smaller than in recent years, including only one tank - a WWII vintage T-34 - and far fewer armored vehicles and missile launchers. The traditional flyover by warplanes and helicopters was also canceled without explanation. Seeking to cement public support for his struggling 14-month-old attack on his neighbor, Putin claimed troops at the front have the fate of Russia in their hands. Ukraine and its allies in the US and Europe reject the Kremlin’s portrayal of the war, saying they’re seeking only to eject Russian forces from occupied territory. -------- Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2TwO8Gm Subscribe to Bloomberg Originals: https://www.youtube.com/BloombergTV Bloomberg Quicktake brings you global social video spanning business, technology, politics and culture.
