MOSCOW — Russia's president, speaking to the annual Victory Day display of military might on Red Square, says the country is committed to peace and global stability.
The Monday parade, marking the surrender of Nazi Germany in World War II, saw some 20,000 servicemen march in precision formation through the vast square outside the Kremlin, followed by 100 pieces of mobile military hardware from armoured personnel carriers to lumbering Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missile launchers.
In a speech to the troops and guests, President Dmitry Medvedev said "today Russia firmly upholds the principles of peaceful co-operation, consistently advocates for a security system and contributes to the overall effort to maintain global stability in the world."
