[00:00:02][music] >> Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday voiced confidence of victory in Ukraine as he oversaw a military parade on Red Square commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.

[00:00:15]According to Associated Press, security was tight in Moscow as Putin and several foreign leaders attended the parade even as a US-brokered three-day ceasefire eased concerns about possible Ukrainian attempts to disrupt the festivities.

[00:00:29]Putin, in power for more than a quarter century, has used Victory Day, Russia's most important secular holiday, to showcase the country's military might and rally support for his military action in Ukraine, now in its fifth year.

[00:00:43]Speaking at the parade, Putin hailed Russian troops fighting in Ukraine, declaring that they face an aggressive force that is armed and supported by the entire block of NATO.

[00:00:53]"Victory has always been and will be ours," Putin said as columns of troops lined up on Red Square.

[00:01:00]"The key to success is our moral strength, courage, and valor, our unity and ability to endure anything and overcome any challenge."

[00:01:08]But this year, for the first time in nearly two decades, the parade took place without tanks, missiles, and other heavy weapons aside from a traditional flyover of combat jets.

[00:01:20]Officials explained the sudden change of format by the current operational situation and said that additional security measures have been taken in response to the threat of Ukrainian attacks.

[00:01:31]For the first time, Saturday's parade featured troops from North Korea, a tribute to Pyongyang that sent its soldiers to fight alongside Moscow forces to repel a Ukrainian incursion into Russia's Kursk region.
