In a Victory Day speech in Red Square marking the Soviet Union's World War II defeat of Nazi Germany, Russian President Putin claims Moscow's military action in Ukraine was preemptive to ward off aggression and a necessary response to Western policies.
This year, as Russian troops fight gruelling battles in Ukraine and unleash torrents of missiles and bombs, few Russians are likely to be dulled by the parade’s rituals. Instead, they will watch it for signs of what could come next in the conflict.
Human rights groups report a spike in calls from people asking about laws concerning mobilization and their rights in case of being ordered to join the military.
