俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京周六在红场的阅兵式上表达了对乌克兰战场胜利的信心,此次阅兵是为纪念二战中纳粹德国的战败——这是近20年来首次没有重型武器装备参与的阅兵。

莫斯科安保戒备森严,普京与数位外国领导人出席了此次阅兵。尽管在美国斡旋下达成的三日停火缓解了外界对乌克兰可能借机破坏庆祝活动的担忧,但阅兵规模仍有所缩减。

执掌政权已超四分之一个世纪的普京,一直将胜利日——俄罗斯最重要的世俗节日——作为展示国家军事实力、凝聚民众对乌克兰军事行动支持的场合,这场军事行动如今已进入第五个年头。

在阅兵式上发表讲话时,普京称赞了在乌克兰作战的俄军,称他们“正面临着整个北约集团武装支持的侵略势力”,并表示他们正在为“正义事业”而战。

“胜利一直属于我们,未来也将属于我们,”普京在受阅部队列队走过红场时说道,“成功的关键在于我们的精神力量、勇气与英勇,我们的团结以及承受一切、克服任何挑战的能力。”

但今年出现了显著变化:除了传统的战机通场外,此次阅兵没有坦克、导弹和其他重型装备。

俄方官员将这种突然调整的阅兵形式归因于“当前的作战态势”,并表示为应对乌克兰的袭击威胁已采取额外安保措施。国家电视台评论员称,重型武器更需要部署在乌克兰战场上。

周六的阅兵首次出现了朝鲜军人,这是对平壤的致敬——朝鲜派士兵与俄军并肩作战,击退了乌克兰对俄罗斯库尔斯克地区的突袭。

俄罗斯单方面宣布周五和周六停火,乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基也曾宣布将于5月6日开始停火,但双方均指责对方持续发动袭击,两次停火均未持续。

美国总统特朗普周五宣布,俄罗斯和乌克兰已听从他的请求,于周六至周一停火并交换战俘,他称此次停火可能是这场战争“结束的开端”。

泽连斯基本周早些时候曾表示,俄罗斯当局“担心5月9日红场上空会有无人机盘旋”,他在特朗普发表声明后随即发布政令,戏谑地允许俄罗斯周六举行胜利日庆祝活动,并称红场临时禁止乌克兰发动袭击。

克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫将泽连斯基的政令斥为“愚蠢的玩笑”。“我们不需要任何人的许可来为我们的胜利日感到自豪,”佩斯科夫对记者说道。

俄罗斯实力更强、装备更精良的军队在超过1000公里(约600英里)的战线上缓慢但稳步推进。乌克兰则以愈发高效的远程打击进行反击,袭击了俄罗斯的能源设施、工厂和军事仓库。乌克兰已开发出能够深入俄罗斯境内1000多公里(超过600英里)的无人机,远超其2022年前的作战能力。

俄罗斯当局警告称,如果乌克兰试图破坏周六的庆祝活动,俄罗斯将对基辅市中心发动“大规模导弹袭击”。俄罗斯国防部提醒基辅平民和外国外交使团人员“有必要迅速撤离该市”。尽管俄罗斯发出威胁,欧盟仍表示其外交官不会离开乌克兰首都。

胜利日庆祝活动纪念二战牺牲

普京一直利用胜利日庆祝活动激发民族自豪感,强调俄罗斯作为全球大国的地位。苏联在1941年至1945年的卫国战争中损失了2700万人口,这场巨大的牺牲在国民心理留下了深刻创伤,也是共产主义统治下俄罗斯分裂历史中罕见的共识点。

“我们怀着对祖国的自豪与热爱,带着捍卫祖国利益与未来的共同责任意识庆祝这个节日,”普京在阅兵式上说道。

“我们的士兵遭受了巨大损失,为了欧洲各国人民的自由与尊严做出了巨大牺牲,他们是勇气与高尚、坚韧与人性的化身,以伟大的胜利为自己赢得了无上荣光。”

自2008年以来,红场的胜利日阅兵每年都会展示从装甲车到携带核弹头的洲际弹道导弹等各类重型武器。俄罗斯全国各地都会举行规模较小的阅兵活动,但今年出于安全原因,其中许多活动也被缩减甚至完全取消。

周六,当局以保障公共安全为由,下令限制俄罗斯首都的所有移动互联网接入和短信服务。俄罗斯政府一直在系统性收紧互联网审查,对网络活动实施愈发严格的管控,这引发了不满情绪的暗流和罕见的公众抗议。

马来西亚苏丹易卜拉欣·伊斯坎达尔国王、老挝总统通伦·西苏里、哈萨克斯坦总统卡西姆-若马尔特·托卡耶夫、乌兹别克斯坦总统沙夫卡特·米尔济约耶夫以及白俄罗斯独裁领导人亚历山大·卢卡申科出席了在俄罗斯首都举行的庆祝活动。

欧盟成员国斯洛伐克总理罗伯特·菲科在克里姆林宫墙外的无名战士墓献花,但未出席红场阅兵。德国总理弗里德里希·默茨批评了菲科的此行,称“我对此深感遗憾,我们将与他讨论其访俄事宜”。

菲科在克里姆林宫与普京会晤时,抱怨欧洲出现了新的“铁幕”,阻碍了贸易,并强调了俄罗斯能源供应对斯洛伐克的重要性。普京称赞斯洛伐克领导人推行了“主权”外交政策,并缅怀了阵亡的红军士兵。

Putin says Russia fighting for “just cause” in Ukraine during scaled-down Victory Day parade under tight security

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday voiced confidence of victory in Ukraine as he oversaw a military parade on Red Square commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II — a show that didn’t include heavy weapons for the first time in nearly two decades.

Security was tight in Moscow as Putin and several foreign leaders attended the parade, which was scaled down even as a U.S.-brokered three-day ceasefire eased concerns about possible Ukrainian attempts to disrupt the festivities.

Putin, in power for more than a quarter-century, has used Victory Day, Russia’s most important secular holiday, to showcase the country’s military might and rally support for his military action in Ukraine, now in its fifth year.

Speaking at the parade, Putin hailed Russian troops fighting in Ukraine, declaring that they “face an aggressive force that is armed and supported by the entire bloc of NATO,” and are fighting for a “just cause.”

“Victory has always been and will be ours,” Putin said, as columns of troops lined up on Red Square. “The key to success is our moral strength, courage and valor, our unity and ability to endure anything and overcome any challenge.”

But in a notable shift this year, the parade took place without tanks, missiles and other heavy equipment, aside from a traditional flyover of combat jets.

Officials explained the sudden change of format by the “current operational situation” and said that additional security measures have been taken in response to the threat of Ukrainian attacks. State television commentators said that the heavy weaponry was more needed on the battlefield in Ukraine.

For the first time, Saturday’s parade featured troops from North Korea, a tribute to Pyongyang that sent its soldiers to fight alongside Moscow forces to repel a Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.

Russia declared a unilateral ceasefire for Friday and Saturday, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a truce that was supposed to begin on May 6, but neither of them held as the parties traded blame for continuing attacks.

President Trump announced Friday that Russia and Ukraine have bowed to his request for a ceasefire running Saturday through Monday and an exchange of prisoners, declaring that the break in fighting could be the “beginning of the end” of the war.

Zelenskyy, who said earlier this week that the Russian authorities “fear drones may buzz over Red Square” on May 9, followed up on Mr. Trump’s statement by issuing a decree mockingly permitting Russia to hold its Victory Day celebrations on Saturday, declaring Red Square temporarily off-limits for Ukrainian strikes.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov shrugged off Zelenskyy’s decree as a “silly joke.” “We don’t need anyone’s permission to be proud of our Victory Day,” Peskov told reporters.

Russia’s bigger and better-equipped military has been making slow but steady gains along the more than 1,000-kilometer (over 600-mile) front line. Ukraine has hit back with increasingly efficient long-range attacks, striking Russian energy facilities, manufacturing plants and military depots. It has developed drones capable of reaching targets over 1,000 kilometers (more than 600 miles) deep into Russia, far beyond its capabilities before 2022.

Russian authorities warned that if Ukraine attempts to disrupt Saturday’s festivities, Russia will carry out a “massive missile strike on the center of Kyiv.” The Russian Defense Ministry warned the civilian population there and employees of foreign diplomatic missions of “the need to leave the city promptly.” The EU said its diplomats wouldn’t leave the Ukrainian capital despite Russian threats.

Victory Day celebrations mark WWII sacrifices

Putin has used Victory Day celebrations to encourage national pride and underline Russia’s position as a global power. The Soviet Union lost 27 million people in 1941-45 in what it calls the Great Patriotic War, an enormous sacrifice that left a deep scar in the national psyche and remains a rare point of consensus in the nation’s divisive history under Communist rule.

“We celebrate it with feelings of pride and love for our country, with understanding of our shared duty to defend the interests and future of our Motherland,” Putin said at the parade.

“Our soldiers suffered colossal losses, made a colossal sacrifice in the name of freedom and dignity of the peoples of Europe, became the embodiment of courage and nobility, fortitude and humanity, and crowned themselves with the great glory of a grandiose victory.”

Victory Day parades on Red Square have involved a broad array of heavy weapons — from armored vehicles to nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles — every year since 2008. Smaller parades are held elsewhere across the country, but this time many of them have also been pared down or even canceled altogether for security reasons.

The authorities on Saturday ordered restrictions on all mobile internet access and text messaging services in the Russian capital, citing the need to ensure public safety. The government has methodically tightened internet censorship and established increasingly stringent controls over online activities, causing rumblings and rare public expressions of discontent.

Malaysia’s King Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar, Laos President Thongloun Sisoulith, Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Belarus’ authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko attended the festivities in the Russian capital.

Prime Minister Robert Fico of Slovakia, a European Union member, laid flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier memorial just outside the Kremlin walls but stayed away from the Red Square parade. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticized Fico’s trip, saying, “I deeply regret this, and we will discuss his visit to Moscow with him.”

Speaking at a meeting with Putin in the Kremlin, Fico bemoaned what he called a new “Iron Curtain” in Europe that hampered trade, and emphasized the importance of Russia’s energy supplies to Slovakia. Putin hailed the Slovak leader for conducting a “sovereign” foreign policy and honoring the memory of fallen Red Army soldiers.
