Vladimir Putin has recalled past conversations with Donald Trump regarding the shared role of both nations in defeating Nazism during World War II.
Speaking ahead of Victory Day celebrations, Putin emphasized the importance of preserving the historical memory of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany.
He stated that the sacrifices made during World War II must continue to be respected around the world and warned against allowing the contributions of wartime heroes to be forgotten.
Victory Day marks the Soviet Union’s triumph over Nazi Germany in 1945 and remains one of Russia’s most significant national commemorations.
Across Russia, ceremonies, memorial events, and military parades are being prepared to honor veterans and remember the millions who died during the war.
Large-scale celebrations are expected in Moscow, where military processions and tributes traditionally take place in Red Square.
Putin’s remarks also highlighted how historical narratives surrounding World War II continue to shape modern political messaging and international relations.
The memory of the war remains deeply connected to Russian national identity and public life.
As Victory Day events approach, attention is focused not only on remembrance ceremonies but also on the broader political symbolism surrounding this historic anniversary.
