German Chancellor protests Moscow's WWII Victory Parade

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of using the Victory Day parade in Moscow to flex his military muscles. He also denounced the Kremlin's actions in Ukraine, urging the EU to support Kiev for as long as necessary. Scholz also spoke in favor of closer cooperation among EU member states on defense and arms production. On Tuesday morning, a military parade commemorating the 78th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany was held on Red Square in Moscow. Putin accused “globalist elites” of “keeping insisting on their exceptionalism” and said the US and its allies are seeking to destroy Russia.
