A celebration in Hmeimim base in Syria on the anniversary of Russia’s victory over Nazism 

Lattakia (ST) – On the occasion of the 78th anniversary of the victory over Nazism in the Great Russian Patriotic War, a central ceremony was held today at the Hmeimim base.

The Russian President Vladimir Putin said during the Victory Day parade on the Red Square in Moscow that the West has launched a real war against his country, but Russia will defend the residents of Donbass and assure their security.

“Any ideology of superiority is by its nature disgusting, criminal and deadly”, he added.

“Russia, like the absolute majority of people on the planet, wants to see the future peaceful, free and stable,” Putin stressed.

Western elites have forgotten the consequences of the Nazis’ “insane ambitions,” Putin said, according to RT.

“The globalist elites keep insisting on their exceptionalism; they pit people against each other, split societies, provoke bloody conflicts and coups, sow hatred, Russophobia and aggressive nationalism, destroy traditional family values that make human a human”, he said, ” It seems that they have forgotten what the insane ambitions of the Nazis led to. They have forgotten who defeated this monstrous, total evil”.

The aim of the West is “to achieve the disintegration and destruction of our country, nullify the results of World War II, completely break down the system of global security and international law, and strangle any sovereign centers of development”, he insisted.

He added that the Ukrainians became “hostages” of the coup of the Kiev regime and the plans of the West and this is the reason for the catastrophe that the Ukrainian people are now experiencing.

“It is very important that the leaders of the Commonwealth of Independent States have gathered here in Moscow today. I see in it a grateful attitude to the deeds of our ancestors – they fought together and won together,” he said, adding “all the peoples of the USSR contributed to the common victory.
