#Victory81
🌟 On May 4, 1945, just two days after the Red Army took Berlin over control in the final days of #WWII, the first #VictoryParade of the Soviet was held at the very heart of the defeated Reich’s capital.
Our soldiers, who heroically defeated the Nazi troops in Berlin, marched past the Reichstag with triumph and the Brandenburg Gate, which symbolised the end of Nazi Germany and the restoration of peace in Europe.
More than two thousand Red Army soldiers and officers — those who had distinguished themselves in the final battles for the Nazi capital — participated in the parade. The parade was commanded by Nikolay Berzarin, Hero of the Soviet Union and the first commandant of Berlin.
The soldiers and their commanders, who had crushed the resistance of the Nazi troops, marched in triumph through the very streets where the Nazis had once displayed its military power.
Our soldiers and officers wore their field uniforms — the very same battle-worn coats soaked with sweat and blood from the still-healing wounds of the decisive battle of the entire #WW2.
🎖 #VictoryParade held in the heart of defeated Germany became a powerful symbol of the greatest military triumph of the Soviet people, the culmination of the Red Army’s liberation mission, which saved the world from Nazism.
On that victorious day — May 4, 1945 — the glory of the Soviet Soldier-Liberator was recognised by the entire world.

⚡️⚡️⚡️ Problem of foreign reprisals against the Russian Media in the West was raised at the #WorldPressFreedomDay International Conference in Lusaka (Zambia), as the RT Chief Produсer Mr. Dmitrii Leontev raised this question at the plenary discussion on “Press Freedom, Peace, Security and Economic Development”.
☝️#RT_Leontev (addressing the speakers): “RT have been banned by all Western countries a few years ago and Western governments forced social media companies to ban us as well. Even more alarming, those Western countries openly went to African countries to say, we will sanction you if you show RT... However there are no false facts we're saying... - the Western governments simply don't like it”.
💬 Permanent Representative of Russia to UNESCO R.Alyautdinov’s comment on problem, raised by RT at #WPFD:
“We systematically draw attention of UNESCO Member States to one-sided politically motivated reprisals against the Russian Media in the West. On #WPFD we circulated in the Organization the recent edition of the relevant Russian MFA Report.
Not only Russia, but a number of other Delegations in UNESCO are concerned with unilateral western sanctions that are aimed at uncompromisingly sanitising information space and eliminating any manifestations of dissent.
We will continue raising this problem in relevant negotiations formats in order to counter western attempts to “privatize” the concept of press freedom, replacing it with the notorious “rules' based order”.
🎙 Extract from the Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on World Press Freedom Day:
“We are convinced that the true value of World Press Freedom Day lies not in ceremonial speeches detached from reality or high-sounding statements tied to the date, but in the capacity and effectiveness of the entire international system to uphold this fundamental principle of the information society, without which sustainable global development and prosperity are impossible”.

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's statement on the situation around Iran
💬 We regret to note that developments around Iran point to a stalling of the negotiating process aimed at settling the crisis in the Persian Gulf.
Against this backdrop, we urge all Sides to exercise maximum restraint and self-control.
It is essential to prevent any relapse into violence or damage to civilian infrastructure as a result of strikes against Iran or neighbouring Arab states.
Amid the persisting tensions in the region, any action could trigger a renewed large-scale armed confrontation. In this regard, it is important to remain vigilant against possible provocations by certain forces seeking to derail peace efforts and prevent the overall stabilisation of the situation.
We consistently advocate resolving existing differences in this strategically important region through political and diplomatic means, taking into account the interests of all regional states.
❗️ We reaffirm Russia’s readiness to provide the necessary assistance in achieving this goal, including on the basis of the principles and practical steps set out in our well-known Concept of Collective Security for the Persian Gulf.

🎬 Кинолента была создана активом российских соотечественников во главе с А.Б.Дымовым и Э.Т.Мухтаровым. В основу легли уникальные видеосвидетельства советских и канадских ветеранов, рассказавших о своем боевом пути, Великой Победе и союзничестве в годы Второй мировой войны.
🕯 Героями фильма стали:
💬 Посол России в Канаде О.В.Степанов в своем приветственном слове отметил:
Фильм - это дань памяти героев. В их воспоминаниях - правда о тяжелой войне, которую надо знать, чтобы предотвратить новые мировые войны. Мы гордимся нашей Победой. И будем отмечать День Победы как праздник жизни, подаренной нам и будущим поколениям.
🏆 Авторы проекта выразили надежду, что фильм «Ветераны Второй мировой войны» будет отмечен на ближайшем III Международном фестивале «Евразия», который пройдет в Сочи с 13 по 19 июня. А в дальнейшем — представлен и на других международных площадках, включая фестивали в западных странах, Китае и дружественных государствах.

⚡️ Комментарий официального представителя МИД России М.В.Захаровой
💬 Министерство иностранных дел Российской Федерации сообщает о том, что во все аккредитованные при МИД дипломатические миссии и представительства международных организаций была направлена нота следующего содержания:
Также российские дипломатические представительства за рубежом информируют об этом страны аккредитации и международные организации.
Напомним, как развивались события.
4 мая 2026 года в ходе саммита Европейского политического сообщества в Ереване главарь киевского режима Зеленский позволил себе агрессивные и угрожающие заявления о намерении сорвать священный праздник День Победы в Москве террористическими актами. При этом присутствовали представители некоторых стран ЕС. Никто из них не одёрнул главаря киевского режима.
В этот же день Министерство обороны Российской Федерации опубликовало предупреждение, которое стало ответом на агрессивные намерения Зеленского. Подчеркну – это было сделано именно в качестве ответной меры.
Если в странах ЕС думают, что у них получится «замолчать» прозвучавшие публично угрозы, так сказать «замести под ковёр» агрессивные заявления Зеленского, то они жестоко ошибаются.
Нам хорошо известно отношение коллективного западного меньшинства к 9 Мая: они планомерно уничтожают советское мемориальное наследие, эксгумируют прах советских воинов, переписывают и перевирают историю. Именно они, вооружая Украину, являются соучастниками преступных планов киевского режима.
Но в данном случае им не должен отказать инстинкт самосохранения.
Мы не выступаем с позиции агрессии, мы выступаем с позиции неизбежного ответа на агрессию.
☝️ Именно так следует воспринимать заявление Министерства обороны Российской Федерации от 4 мая и наши последующие шаги. Его точно не надо замалчивать. К нему надо отнестись очень и очень серьёзно.

МИД России настоятельно призывает власти вашей страны / руководство вашей организации с максимальной ответственностью отнестись к данному заявлению и обеспечить заблаговременную эвакуацию из города Киев персонала дипломатических и иных представительств, а также граждан в связи с неотвратимостью нанесения Вооруженными силами Российской Федераций ответного удара по Киеву, в том числе по центрам принятия решений, в случае реализации киевским режимом своих преступных террористических замыслов в дни празднования Великой Победы».

⚡️ Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova (May 6, 2026)
💬 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation hereby announces that a Note Verbale has been sent to all diplomatic missions accredited to the Ministry, as well as to missions of international organisations. The note reads as follows:
Russian diplomatic missions abroad are also informing their host countries and international organisations of this.
Let us look back at how the events unfolded.
On May 4, during the European Political Community Summit in Yerevan, Kiev regime leader Zelensky went so far as to make aggressive and threatening statements about his intention to disrupt Moscow’s sacred Victory Day celebrations with terrorist attacks. He said this in the presence of representatives from a number of EU countries none of whom did anything to rein in the presumptuous Kiev regime leader.
On the same day, the Russian Defence Ministry issued a warning statement in response to Zelensky’s stated aggressive intentions. To reinforce my point, it was done in response to what Zelensky had said.
If EU countries believe they will be able to hush up those public threats and to sweep Zelensky’s aggressive statements under the carpet, they are gravely mistaken.
We are well aware of the collective Western minority’s attitude towards May 9. They are systematically destroying Soviet memorial legacy, exhuming the remains of Soviet soldiers, and rewriting and distorting history. As they continue to supply Ukraine with weapons, they are acting as accomplices in the criminal plans hatched by the Kiev regime.
However, the instinct for self-preservation should not fail them.
☝️ We are not acting from a position of aggression; we are acting from a position of an inevitable response to aggression.
This is how the statement issued by the Defence Ministry on May 4 and our subsequent steps should be interpreted. It must certainly not be hushed up. It must be taken very, very seriously.
💬 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation hereby announces that a Note Verbale has been sent to all diplomatic missions accredited to the Ministry, as well as to missions of international organisations. The note reads as follows:
"On May 4, 2026, the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation released an official statement in response to threats by the Kiev regime to carry out a strike on Moscow during Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War which is a holiday that is sacred to all Russians. The Foreign Ministry urgently calls on the government of your country/the leadership of your organisation to treat this statement with the utmost seriousness and to ensure the timely evacuation from the city of Kiev of the personnel of diplomatic and other missions, as well as civilians, in view of the inevitable retaliatory strike by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on Kiev, including against decision-making centres, should the Kiev regime carry out its criminal terrorist plans during the Victory Day celebrations."

During the specified period, all Groups of Russian troops in the special military operation zone will completely cease fire.
Strikes by missile troops and artillery, long-range maritime and air-based high-precision weapons, attack UAVs at AFU deployment areas, and infrastructure facilities connected to military industry and the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the depths of Ukraine will be stopped at the same time.
We call on the Ukrainian side to follow this example.
Should the AFU violate the truce in the zone of the special military operation, as well as carry out attempts to launch strikes against settlements and facilities on the territory of the Russian regions, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will deliver an adequate response.
It is also recalled that in the event of attempts by the Kiev regime to disrupt the celebration of the 81st anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War in Moscow, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will launch a massive missile strike on the centre of Kiev.
Once again, we warn the civilian population of Kiev and members of foreign diplomatic missions to leave the city in a timely manner.

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's statement on the Kiev regime militants’ attack on a TASS photojournalist (May 7, 2026)
On May 6, while filming the aftermath of AFU shelling of civilian sites in Vasilyevka, Zaporozhye Region, TASS photojournalist Alexander Polegenko came under a targeted attack by a strike UAV operated by militants of the Kiev regime.
The drone damaged his car, the journalist himself miraculously survived.
This attempted murder of a civilian – and media workers are classified as civilians under international humanitarian law – looks especially cynical against the backdrop of the “regime of silence” announced by Zelensky. This attack is yet another vivid demonstration of the hypocrisy and vileness of the Kiev junta, for which nothing has long remained sacred.
The terrorist methods of the Kiev regime must receive a proper public assessment from relevant international bodies – first and foremost the OSCE, UNESCO and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Their reaction – or rather, its absence – following the numerous ceremonies recently held to mark World Press Freedom Day on May 3, will show how seriously they really take journalists’ safety.
Each new crime committed by Ukrainian Banderites, met with silence or empty platitudes from these multilateral bodies, leaves another shameful stain on their reputation.

Embassy’s comment on Minister Anand's recent statement
(“Russia’s latest drone strikes”)
Since May 1st alone, the Kiev regime has carried out over 2600 drone strikes on dozens of Russian regions killing civilians, damaging residential areas, causing harm to environment.
It is hard to believe that Global Affairs Canada is unaware of this, or that Zelenskiy and his clique are lying.
❗️Therefore, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that those who have prepared Minister Anand's statement are engaged in a deliberate disinformation of the Canadian public.

🎙Поздравление Посла России в Канаде О.В.Степанова ветеранов Великой Отечественной войны и проживающих в Канаде соотечественников по случаю 81-й годовщины Победы в Великой Отечественной войне (7 мая 2026 г.)
💬 Уважаемые соотечественники! Дорогие друзья!
🇷🇺 Поздравляю вас с 81-й годовщиной Великой Победы. 9 мая – священная дата, объединяющая поколения. В России нет семьи, которую обошла стороной война.
Разгром коварно напавшего на нашу страну врага дался нелегко, ценой беспримерных жертв, тягот и лишений. Миллионы людей отдали жизнь на фронте, погибли в оккупации, под бомбежками. Наш народ подвергся геноциду. Но не сдался и не согнулся. Устоял и победил.
Верность Отечеству и долгу, патриотизм и несгибаемый дух каждого позволил нам отстоять свое право на жизнь, обеспечить независимость и свободу потомкам, спасти мир. Подвиг Красной Армии бессмертен.
🪖 Сегодня и всегда мы преклоняемся перед стойкостью воинов, сражавшихся в жесточайших боях за нашу землю на суше, море и в небе. Отдаем должное труженикам тыла. Женщинам, вставшим на защиту Отечества наравне с мужчинами. Детям, вынесшим невзгоды военного времени и работавшим на заводах наравне со взрослыми. Исполнявшим свой долг врачам и медсестрам. Скорбим о всех павших. Чтим ветеранов. Не забываем о вкладе союзников, включая участников Северных конвоев.
❗️Наша задача – хранить наследие Победы. Россия не допустит искажения истории, обеления и возрождения нацизма. Мы будем и впредь твердо отстаивать правду и справедливость, за которые сражались наши отцы и деды. Следуя примеру их мужества и стойкости. Наше дело правое, а значит – Победа за нами.
🇷🇺Низкий поклон всем защитникам Отечества!
🔴 🔴 С праздником 9 мая! За нашу Победу!

🎙Congratulations from the Ambassador of Russia to Canada, Oleg Stepanov, to the Veterans of the Great Patriotic War and Russian Compatriots Residing in Canada on the Occasion of the 81st Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War (May 7, 2026)
💬 Dear compatriots! Dear friends!
🇷🇺 I congratulate you on the 81st anniversary of the Great Victory. May 9 is a sacred date that unites generations. There is no family in Russia that was untouched by the war.
The defeat of the enemy, who treacherously attacked our country, came at an immense cost — through unparalleled sacrifice, hardship, and suffering. Millions gave their lives on the battlefield, perished under occupation, or died during bombings. Our people were subjected to genocide. But they did not surrender and did not break. They endured and prevailed.
Loyalty to the Motherland and to duty, patriotism, and the unbreakable spirit of each individual enabled us to defend our right to live, to secure independence and freedom for future generations, and to save the world. The feat of the Red Army is immortal.
🪖 Today and always, we bow before the steadfastness of the soldiers who fought in the fiercest battles for our land — on land, at sea, and in the skies. We honor the workers of the home front; the women who stood in defense of the Motherland alongside men; the children who endured the hardships of wartime and worked in factories shoulder to shoulder with adults; the doctors and nurses who faithfully carried out their duty. We mourn all those who fell. We honor our veterans. We do not forget the contribution of our allies, including the participants of the Arctic convoys.
❗️Our task is to preserve the legacy of Victory. Russia will not allow the distortion of history, the whitewashing, or the revival of Nazism. We will continue to firmly uphold the truth and justice for which our fathers and grandfathers fought, following the example of their courage and resilience. Ours is a just cause — and therefore victory will be ours.
🇷🇺Our lowest bow to all defenders of the Fatherland!
🔴 🔴 Happy Victory Day! To our Victory!

В мероприятии приняли участие представители дипломатического корпуса, актив российских соотечественников, а также ветеранских организаций Монреаля.
🎬 Для гостей был организован показ фильма «Ветераны Второй мировой войны», созданного российскими соотечественниками в Канаде на основе воспоминаний советских и канадских ветеранов о войне, союзничестве и Великой Победе.
🇷🇺 Постоянный представитель России при ИКАО А.А.Баталов в своем приветственном слове отметил особое значение Дня Победы для России и всего народа:
Мужество, сила духа и воля наших отцов, дедов и прадедов позволили сохранить свободу и независимость Родины, сокрушить нацизм, спасти Европу и мир от коричневой чумы. Именно поэтому День Победы — это не просто дата в календаре, а символ мужества, стойкости и силы духа нашего народа.
❗️Советник-посланник Посольства России в Канаде О.В.Шаповалов подчеркнул, что Победа над нацизмом открыла новую страницу мировой истории — страницу мира, гуманизма и международного сотрудничества.
Празднование Дня Победы — это для всех нас также День Памяти. Пока мы помним подвиг наших предков и ту цену, которую они заплатили за будущее человечества, подобная трагедия не должна повториться вновь.
🕯 Участники мероприятия почтили память павших героев Великой Отечественной войны и выразили признательность поколению победителей, отстоявшему свободу и мир для будущих поколений.
