🎙 Address by President of Russia – Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin at the military parade marking the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945
📍 Moscow, May 9, 2026
💬 Vladimir Putin: I congratulate you on Victory Day – our sacred, radiant and most important holiday!
We sacredly honour the legacy and behests of the soldiers of Victory. Care for the Fatherland unites our entire country and all the people of Russia, while preserving the memory of the Great Patriotic War, its true history and real heroes is a matter of honour for us.
We will always remember the feat of the Soviet people – the fact that it was they who made the decisive contribution to the defeat of Nazism, saved their country, saved the world, put an end to total and merciless evil, and restored sovereignty to those states that had capitulated to Hitler’s Germany and become obedient accomplices in its crimes.
June 22, 1941 is one of the most tragic and sorrowful dates in our history. This year marks 85 years since the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.
The Nazis treacherously attacked the Soviet Union. They planned to seize the country and its vast resources, completely destroy its culture and our historical heritage, and ultimately exterminate, enslave and commit genocide against the entire multi-ethnic Soviet people – precisely all peoples, nations and ethnic groups of the Soviet Union.
To carry out these criminal objectives, forces were gathered from across Europe. Nazi strategists seemed to have meticulously accounted for everything – except one thing: what is known as Russian character and the strength of spirit of the Soviet people.
🕯 We bow our heads before those who fell in battle. Before those who were tortured under occupation and in captivity, who died of starvation in besieged Leningrad, in other encircled cities and settlements. Before all those who gave their lives for the Motherland, for Russia. We bow our heads to the memory of sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends.
***
The great feat of the victorious generation inspires the warriors who are today carrying out the goals of the special military operation. They are confronting an aggressive force that is being armed and supported by the entire NATO.
☝️ And despite this, our heroes are advancing.
Alongside Russian warriors stand workers and designers, engineers, scientists and inventors. They are carrying on the traditions of their predecessors, relying on modern combat experience to create advanced and unique weapons systems and launch their mass production.
I am strongly convinced that our cause is just! We are together! Victory has always been and will always be ours!
Glory to the victorious people! Glory to our veterans! Glory to the Armed Forces of Russia!
Happy Victory Day! Hurrah!

🎖️ On 9 May 2026, as part of a series of events marking the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the Embassy of Russia, in conjunction with the Russian House in Colombo, held a number of commemorative events in honour of this landmark date.

A motorcade flying the flags of the Russian Federation then proceeded through the streets of Colombo, bringing the significance of this historic date to the city’s attention.
A prominent place in the programme was given to an open-air photo exhibition dedicated to Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Wartime photographs served as a living testament to the heroism of the Soviet people and reminded those present of the price paid for the peace that was won.
🌳 As part of the international Garden of Memory initiative, a ceremonial tree and plant planting took place at the Russian House — a living symbol of remembrance for the millions who perished.

🎙 Answers by President of Russia Vladimir Putin to media questions following talks held on the Day of the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 (May 9, 2026)
Key points:
#UkrainianCrisis
• As early as 5 May, we conveyed to the Ukrainian side a proposal on a POW exchange and sent a list of 500 Ukrainian servicemen currently held in Russia. First, Kiev said the list needed to be studied more carefully – perhaps not all 500, but, say, 200 people could be exchanged. Then the Ukrainian side effectively went silent and stated outright that it was not ready for this exchange.
• Since a later proposal came from the US President to carry out a POW exchange – the very exchange we ourselves had proposed on the 5th (you can ask Russia's FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov, he will not hide the facts) – we naturally welcomed it and were ready to proceed. We also extended the ceasefire by another two days in the hope of carrying out the POW exchange. I hope it will ultimately take place.
• As for Zelensky’s proposal for a personal meeting – sure, let whoever wants to meet come to Moscow. A meeting can also take place in a third country, but only once final agreements have been reached on a peace treaty designed for a long-term historical perspective.
• The conflict primarily concerns Russia and Ukraine. If others want to help – and we can see that the current US Administration and the US President sincerely seek a settlement, and clearly have no need for this conflict given their many other priorities – we can only be grateful. But this remains, first and foremost, a matter for Russia and Ukraine.
#RussiaArmenia
• As for Armenia’s plans to join the EU, this issue certainly requires special consideration. We have enjoyed special relations with the Armenian people for centuries. And if a particular decision benefits the Armenian people – by all means, we will not object. But we must bear in mind certain circumstances that are important both for us and for our partners. This includes the significant advantages Armenia enjoys within the EAEU.
#MiddleEast
• The conflict between Iran and the US is extremely grave and complex. For Russia, this is a difficult situation: we have good relations with Iran and genuinely friendly relations with the countries of the Persian Gulf. We continue to maintain contacts with all parties. Should the situation move towards escalation and growing confrontation, everyone will lose.
• Russia will support any scenario, any solution that can break the deadlock over the removal of highly enriched uranium from Iran and make it possible to move towards a peaceful settlement. And it seems to me that here, too, there are nuances – I will certainly not go into them now – but compromises are possible.
#RussiaEU
• I hope that awareness of the mistaken nature of Europe’s current course towards Russia is already beginning to take shape and will only grow stronger – and that, ultimately, we will still be able to restore relations with many countries that are now trying to place them beyond the pale. The sooner this happens, the better – both for Russia and for the European states themselves.
