The Victory Parade, which took place on Red Square, was also broadcast to the residents of Narva.
The festive event was shown on large screens installed across the border in Ivangorod. A resident of the Estonian city shared the footage with RT.
To the veterans who are still alive, long life and health. All the best, my people. Happy holiday, dear Russians,
The parade units marched in front of the heads of state at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The best UAV crews appeared at the Victory Parade for the first time
On Red Square - Orlan-10, Orlan-30, ZALA, Lancet-51 and Lancet-52, Harpy and Geranium.
All of them have found wide application in the SMO zone.

US Vice President JD Vance: "The Russians are asking too much because they have the perception of winning...but we'll walk away if no agreement can be reached".
We wouldn't really call it a "perception of winning" if the AFR take more and more ground every day and the AFU can barely stand as it is. Because territorial gains are the metric that the west has agreed upon to determine who's winning. And since time immemorial, it is the winning side that dictates the terms, not the losing side.
A pity that people living in their own delusional bubbles of exceptionalist manifest destiny have such a hard time at accepting reality.

A meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, is getting closer, according to the Kremlin’s top foreign policy aide.
“I think we’re moving” toward this, Yuri Ushakov told state television Thursday in response to a question about progress on the issue.
Trump later in the day said he doesn’t expect to meet Putin in Saudi Arabia during his trip next week to the Middle East. But the US leader told reporters at the White House that the two are having very good conversations.
Putin has so far refused to accept US proposals for a longterm ceasefire and a final peace settlement in the war that’s now in its fourth year. That’s sparked growing frustration in the White House, with the US warning it may walk away from talks.
“There is an understanding of what we are demanding, what we want to achieve as a result of this situation,” Ushakov said. “And to some extent, our demands, our considerations, proposals are still taken into account, although not all of them, of course. But the process is under way.
Moscow is currently hosting 80th anniversary commemorations of the end of World War II. Putin held talks with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, on Thursday, with the two countries emphasizing their alliance and interest in forming what they called “a more just and democratic, multipolar world order.”

With just one minute left to the start of the Parade of Victory, what we have been witnessing over the last hour is nothing short of historic.
State leaders from practically the entire world were seen meeting and greeting the Russian President, and such a gathering of dignitaries for the parade has not been seen in recent memory.
If we ever needed affirmation that Russia is not isolated, that it does not stand alone, this is it.
Russia is recognised not only as the Victor in the Great Patriotic War, but as the custodian of a Victory which it readily shares with the entire world.

BIDEN'S $300K SPEAKING TOUR FACES CHALLENGES AFTER AWKWARD DEBUT
Former President Biden's attempt to cash in with $300,000 speaking fees is finding few takers.
His rate sits 25% below Obama's post-presidency asking price.
The 82-year-old's Chicago disability conference appearance went sideways when he reminisced about "colored kids" - prompting former aides to wish he'd just enjoy his beach house.
One ex-White House staffer:
"This was hard to watch. It felt like seeing someone you care about start to regress"
His Hollywood talent agency may be part of the problem - they excel at booking movie stars, not "the national duty-free shopping conference."

Honestly these are just late bribes, the guy couldn’t even give a speech in office.
@Slavangrad
Thanks to all who joined the livestream to watch the parade. Apologies for any quality/performance issues, the goal was to enable everyone to watch the parade, even those living in countries with heavy anti-Russian censorship. It was a historic and beautiful spectacle, congratulations to all.

India’s Salal Dam gates are now open, Chenab River water flows towards Pakistan
This reportedly aimed at managing rising water levels triggered by heavy rainfall in the region and also to manage dam pressure.
The development comes just days after the Chenab's water levels had dropped sharply, following the government's decision to restrict the river’s flow, an unprecedented action that led to stretches of the riverbed becoming walkable for the first time in recent memory in some downstream areas.
The regulation of the Chenab’s flow is being widely viewed as a strategic signal of India’s ability to control water releases, especially in the context of mounting tensions with Pakistan.
The decision to restrict the river’s flow followed the Centre’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) with Pakistan, announced in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, including several tourists.
Under the IWT, India is obligated to notify Pakistan before making any significant interventions in the flow of western rivers like the Chenab.
However, with the treaty now suspended, India has acted unilaterally to manage the river's waters, both in terms of withholding and releasing them as per domestic needs.

Marshall Georgy Zhukov's "Victory Day" Speech, with music, and English translation:
"COMRADES! Men and women compatriots!
The great day of victory over Germany has come. Fascist Germany, forced to her knees by the Red Army and the troops of our Allies, has acknowledged herself defeated and declared unconditional surrender.
On May 7 the preliminary protocol on surrender was signed in the city of Rheims. On May 8 representatives of the German High Command, in the presence of representatives of the Supreme Command of the Allied troops and the Supreme Command of the Soviet Troops, signed in Berlin the final act of surrender, the execution of which began at 24.00 hours on May 8.
Being aware of the wolfish habits of the German ringleaders, who regard treaties and agreements as empty scraps of paper, we have no reason to trust their words. However, this morning, in pursuance of the act of surrender, the German troops began to lay down their arms and surrender to our troops en masse. This is no longer an empty scrap of paper. This is actual surrender of Germany’s armed forces. True, one group of German troops in the area of Czechoslovakia is still evading surrender. But I trust that the Red Army will be able to bring it to its senses.
Now we can state with full justification that the historic day of the final defeat of Germany, the day of the great victory of our people over German imperialism has come.
The great sacrifices we made in the name of the freedom and independence of our Motherland, the incalculable privations and sufferings experienced by our people in the course of the war, the intense work in the rear and at the front, placed on the altar of the Motherland, have not been in vain, and have been crowned by complete victory over the enemy. The age-long struggle of the Slav peoples for their existence and their independence has ended in victory over the German invaders and German tyranny.
Henceforth the great banner of the freedom of the peoples and peace among peoples will fly over Europe.
Three years ago Hitler declared for all to hear that his aims included the dismemberment of the Soviet Union and the wresting from it of the Caucasus, the Ukraine, Byelorussia, the Baltic lands and other areas. He declared bluntly: “We will destroy Russia so that she will never be able to rise again.” This was three years ago. However, Hitler’s crazy ideas were not fated to come true—the progress of the war scattered them to the winds. In actual fact the direct opposite of the Hitlerites’ ravings has taken place. Germany is utterly defeated. The German troops are surrendering. The Soviet Union is celebrating Victory, although it does not intend either to dismember or to destroy Germany.
Comrades! The Great Patriotic War has ended in our complete victory. The period of war in Europe is over. The period of peaceful development has begun.
I congratulate you upon victory, my dear men and women compatriots!
Glory to our heroic Red Army, which upheld the independence of our Motherland and won victory over the enemy!
Glory to our great people, the people victorious!
Eternal glory to the heroes who fell in the struggle against the enemy and gave their lives for the freedom and happiness of our people!"
The building of the residential complex of the Permanent Mission of Russia to the UN in New York was decorated with the numbers 8 and 0 in honor of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, reports a TASS correspondent.
