Russia holds Victory Day Parade in Mariupol
2022-05-10
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Gloating Russians have taunted Ukraine by holding Victory Day parades in Mariupol and other occupied cities in a display of blind patriotism despite the stalling invasion.

In the port city brought to ruin by persistent Russian shelling and blockades, Kremlin puppet Denis Pushilin marched through the streets waving the traditional orange and black ribbon of Saint George associated with the military celebrations.

The leader of the Donetsk People's Republic wore a Z symbol on his chest as he chanted with fellow senior pro-Russian officials and even lit a torch at Mariupol's memorial for the victims of fascism in a display of breathtaking arrogance.

#3  Too bad Ukraine didn't have any rockets with enough range....would be funny to have a few hit the parade route.

#2  At least he made it to the parade, I guess. Yuri Andropov, et al, didn't. Restoring the grand Soviet tradition of old sick men in power...
