In just three days, the wait will be over. Donald J. Trump will be sworn into office and will put his plan to work from minute one to Make America Great Again.
But, as the year moves on, there’ll be other momentous dates and celebrations – and one of the most relevant is bound to be the 80th-year celebration of the defeat of the German Nazis in WW2.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has set preparations into motion for the annual ‘Victory Day’ military parade on May 9 – and the report now arises that he is expecting a special guest from the US, according to a Kremlin insider.
Newsweek reported:
“On May 9, Russia celebrates Victory Day, which is the annual commemoration of Nazi Germany’s defeat during World War II. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Victory Day celebrations. Putin typically uses the day to show off Russia’s military power and invites foreign leaders to a parade in Red Square in Moscow.
Should a guest from the U.S. attend this year, the individual is likely to be someone from or associated with the incoming Trump administration. Then-U.S. National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien traveled to Moscow in 2020 to attend the celebrations. U.S. officials at the time said Donald Trump—who was serving his first term as president—had to be pressured by his advisers against going.”
US officials have not attended the Red Square event in recent years, since the relationship between the powers has devolved almost to Cold War levels.
“A source close to the Kremlin told Meduza, an independent Russian outlet, that Putin is expecting a ‘big guest’ from the U.S. on May 9. The source didn’t elaborate on who the official could be, but said Trump himself ‘would be fantastic’.”
Trump’s vow to bring an end to the war in Ukraine is set to put him in direct negotiations with Putin.
But there is no doubt that the Kremlin will celebrate, in this years’ parade, the military conquests in Ukraine as major victories.
“A Kremlin source told Meduza: ‘It is clear that we will have to talk about the victory in the [war in Ukraine]. But here is the main question: will peace or ceasefire agreements be reached? It is not a fact that they will be…I think, we will talk about the liberation of Donbas [Ukraine’s Luhansk and Donetsk regions] as a victory at the moment’.”
