Russian President Vladimir Putin evoked the memory of Soviet heroism in World War Two to inspire his army fighting in Ukraine during a speech on Victory Day, which included a military parade across the vast Red square.

Addressing massed ranks of service personnel on the 77th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany, Putin likened the war - which he casts as a battle against dangerous "Nazi"-inspired nationalists in Ukraine - to the challenge the Soviet Union faced when Hitler invaded in 1941.

"You are fighting for the Motherland, for its future, so that no one forgets the lessons of World War Two. So that there is no place in the world for executioners, castigators and Nazis," he said.

However, Putin had no victory to announce in Ukraine and his 11-minute address (truncated for brevity in this video), on day 75 of the invasion, was largely notable for what he did not say.
