Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a speech defending his invasion of Ukraine by connecting it to the battle against the Nazis 80 years ago.

There, Russia has managed to diminish the sovereignty and geopolitical maneuverability of two countries by supporting secession movements within their territories. It is now in the process of applying this model to Ukraine.

Given all the horrors that have taken place so far in the Ukraine war, it’s hard to talk of “victory” in any absolute sense. Russian troops out and an end to the killing on the one hand and Ukrainian neutrality on the other might be the closest thing to a viable compromise that negotiators can achieve at this point.

Putin’s Victory Day speech shows how Russia can be defeated — and how Ukraine can win | Trudy RubinIn his Victory Day speech, Putin didn't expand the war or threaten to use nuclear weapons because he knows his army is weak and he can't afford to fight NATO. Ukrainian Nazis will share the same destiny as Ukrainian Bandera thugs that were eliminated after WW2. If somebody got a short memory, 1944 parade of captured Nazis should be educational for all Nazis. Zelensky should be marching also (probably in chains). Go nuts, memesters

WadeThere’s been no other draft opinion circulated yet in the case, Politico reports, meaning Alito’s opinion calling Roe “egregiously wrong” still stands for now.
