UK defence minister condemns Putin for 'mirroring fascism'

LONDON - UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace on Monday accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of "mirroring fascism", as the country held an annual Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square.

Wallace said in an address at the National Army Museum in London that "through the invasion of Ukraine, Putin, his inner circle, his generals, are now mirroring fascism and tyranny 77 years ago"."For them, and for Putin, there can be no Victory Day, only dishonour and surely defeat in Ukraine," he added.

Wallace said he wanted to "call out the absurdity of Russian generals resplendent in their manicured parade uniforms, weighed down by the gold braid and glistening medals".
