Russia fired cruise missiles at Kyiv and paraded troops across Red Square for its annual celebration of victory in World War Two, pared back amid shortages of manpower and weaponry at the front after a failed winter campaign in Ukraine.

President Vladimir Putin said Russians were united in a “sacred” fight with the West over Ukraine but the strains of war were evident at one of the lowest-key anniversaries of the victory over Nazi Germany in decades.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hailed Ukraine as “the beating heart of today’s European values” in a deeply symbolic visit to Kyiv as Russia marked its World War Two Victory Day.
