As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, in his speech on Red Square, Putin said that NATO and Ukraine were preparing for a "punitive operation in the Donbas, for an invasion of Russian historical lands, including Crimea."
At the same time, the parade was held without aviation, although earlier they wanted to show the Doomsday plane, at which the Russian government would be evacuated in the event of a nuclear strike.
But at the parade there were military men who fought in Ukraine. They arrived on vehicles marked with red stars and St. George ribbons.
