they talked later Putin defended RussiaOffensive in Ukraine addressing the ranks of soldiers on Red Square for the May 9 holiday to celebrate the Soviet victory in World War II.
Wallace said in an address National Army Museum In London that “through the invasion of Ukraine, Putin, his inner circle, his general, is now mirroring the fascism and tyranny of 77 years ago”.
He accused them of “repeating the errors of the totalitarian regime of the last century”.
“For them, and for Putin, there can be no Victory Day, only humiliation and of course defeat in Ukraine,” he said.
Putin has justified Russia’s military actions by saying they were “condemning” the neighboring country.
In a speech to soldiers on Monday, Putin said they were fighting for their “homeland” in Ukraine because of the “unacceptable threat”, so “no one forgets the lessons of World War II”.
Wallace said that he wanted to “weight off the absurdist parade uniforms of Russian generals in their manicured parade uniforms, gold tops and glittering medals”.
“Their top officials have failed their own rank and file to such an extent that they should face court martial,” he said.
He called the army “fully involved in the abduction of the glorious history of his ancestors by Putin… in the expulsion of fascism”.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky Speaking of his pride in the Ukrainians who fought to defeat Nazism, he said on Monday he would not allow the victory in World War II to be “appropriated” by the Russians.
Wallace said the reality in Ukraine is that Putin’s military is running out of Russia’s most sophisticated precision weapons “quite quickly” while relying on Western-made components.
“The truth is that Russia’s General Staff is failing, and they know it,” he said.
He insisted that “Putin should fail in Ukraine” and that there was “still potential” for this to happen, while adding that it should be up to Kyiv to decide what he would accept as a victory.
