The 2022 Moscow Victory Day Parade was held in Moscow's Red Square on 9 May 2022.

Events

Background

The parade was organised to commemorate the 77th anniversary of both the capitulation of Nazi Germany in the Second World War in 1945 and the historic Moscow Victory Parade of 1945.

Parade and situation

The parade took place amid the backdrop of 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The parade was not broadcast on some platforms outside of Russia due to social media boycotts and sanctions in response to the invasion.

Within Russia, anti-war slogans appeared on Russian satellite television as well as on Lenta.ru, a pro-government news website, on Victory Day.

According to the Russian state-owned TASS news agency, a number of foreign envoys from the Middle East and Africa attended the ceremony. Rodion Miroshnik, the ambassador to Russia from the Luhansk People's Republic (a pro-Russian breakaway region of Ukraine's Donbas region), addressed the crowd in Red Square.

Speculations

There were some speculations that Vladimir Putin would use the occasion to make a formal declaration of war on Ukraine. However this did not occur throughout the day.

Putin's speech

The Russian president Vladimir Putin gave a speech at the parade. The speech did not give any specifics regarding the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and also did not refer to Ukraine by name in his speech. Putin condemned the Ukrainian government, the West and NATO, blaming their alleged aggressive actions for Russia's invasion and saying that NATO and the West was using Ukraine as a proxy to attack Russia. He also drew parallels between the current Ukrainian government and that of Nazi Germany, praising Russia's military, saying that present troops were "fighting for the motherland, for her future, and so that nobody forgets the lessons of World War II".
