Putin seemed to be aiming at Trump during a speech in Moscow, where he said that Russia was the most important country in beating Nazi Germany.
In his annual Victory Day speech, Putin said that the Soviet Union “determined the outcome” of World War II. This came just a few days after Trump said that the US had won both wars by itself.
“We won both wars, and no one came close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military smarts,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social page last week. Putin gets a red face when a protester with a Hitler sign jumps into the Moscow River.

But Putin, who was in Red Square with China’s President Xi Jinping, told the crowd that the USSR “took on itself the strongest attacks of our enemies” and that Soviet people “defended the front lines.”
Many people saw his words as an answer to Trump’s post, which made a lot of people in Russia angry because the huge sacrifices made by the Soviet Union during the war are still very touchy issues there.

Putin said that Russia would never let “the true victors over Nazism be slandered” and promised to keep fighting what he called the “followers of Nazism.” The Kremlin often uses this language to explain why it invaded Ukraine.
