Russians unite on Victory Day with parades and "Immortal Regiment" marches taking place across the country, honoring both fallen and living soldiers. Residents of the Donbass city of Mariupol openly join in the celebrations - for the first time since the area was seized by the Ukrainian military eight years ago. While in his Victory Day address, Vladimir Putin draws parallels between the current conflict in Ukraine, and the fight against the Nazis during the Second World War. US President Joe Biden is to sign a 'Lend-Lease Act' later today with the aim of facilitating an increase in military supplies to Kiev.
