"Russia will do everything to avoid a global confrontation. But at the same time, we will not allow anyone to threaten us. Our strategic [nuclear] forces are always on alert", the Russian President said.
In the context of the war in Ukraine, and in the same week that he took office for a fifth term as head of state, Putin announced that he will order "nuclear military maneuvers" in the "near future".
Today, Putin's speech was delivered in Red Square, Moscow, at the annual military parade and which marks the 79 years after the capitulation of the Nazi Germany regime, in 1945.
In a clear reference to the United States and NATO, Putin stressed that Moscow rejects the claims "of any country or alliance".
"We will not allow anyone to threaten us", said Putin, who then ordered a minute of silence for the dead of the Second World War, in which the former Soviet Union lost more than 26 million people, civilians and soldiers, between 1941 and 1945.
Putin accused "Western elites" of "revenge" as well as criticizing what he considered "attempts by Western colonialists" who, he said, "distort" the truth about the Second World War by dismantling monuments to Soviet soldiers and placing Hitler's "traitors and accomplices" on a pedestal.
However, he stressed that Russia never underestimated the importance of the role of Western allies in the defeat of Nazism and also recalled China's fight against Japanese imperialism in the 1930s and 1940s.
"We will never forget our common struggle and the inspiring traditions of alliance", he stressed.
More than nine thousand soldiers participate in the parade, which started as usual at 10:00 am (07:00 am in Lisbon), in addition to about 70 combat teams.
Among the soldiers parading in Red Square are those who fought in Ukraine as part of the so-called "special military operation".
The leaders of six former Soviet republics, including Belarus and Kazakhstan; Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel and the leaders of Laos and Guinea-Bissau are also present.
