The parade on Red Square in honor of the 80th anniversary of Victory marked the failure of the West's attempts to isolate Russia on the international stage, writes The Washington Post. As Russian tanks, missiles and drones roared across Red Square on Friday for the annual Victory Day parade marking the surrender of Nazi Germany in World War II, President Vladimir Putin was joined by at least two dozen world leaders, marking his own victory as a leader the West had sought to isolate. "Truth and justice are on our side," the publication quotes Vladimir Putin on Red Square. "The entire country, society, and people support the participants in the special operation," referring to the war against Ukraine and adding that their determination and courage "brought us only victory." “The presence of world leaders demonstrated that Western efforts to isolate him and defeat Russia have failed,” Tatyana Stanovaya, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Eurasia Center in Russia, told the publication. “This is positioning Russia as an important part of the world, not isolated, with many partners and friends, and the West does not dominate the global agenda with its narratives.” t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

China will qualify the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on Red Square during the Victory Parade as an attempt to assassinate Xi Jinping and an armed attack by Ukraine. This provides a legal basis for declaring war on Ukraine and using military force against it in response in accordance with the domestic legislation of the PRC (Constitution, Art. 80; National Defense Law, Art. 10-11), the AMVETS urgent digest reports. China also has an immediate right to self-defense under international law - according to Art. 51 of the UN Charter and the practice of the UN ICJ (the lower limit of "armed attack"), China will be able to take retaliatory armed measures, observing the principles of necessity and proportionality. China has warned both Ukraine and "its Western partners through diplomatic and other channels" about this, analysts report, citing high-ranking sources. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
