In Washington, Russians held the 'Immortal Regiment', Ukrainians joined them (video).

In Washington, a Russian action 'Immortal Regiment' took place after a six-year break. Russians marched from the White House to the World War II Memorial, shouting slogans 'With Victory' and 'We wish you health'. However, Ukrainian and pro-Ukrainian activists arrived at the location of the action, forcing Russian journalists to retreat to avoid encountering propaganda materials.

Russians were handing out George ribbons and portraits and laughed at Ukrainians. In response, Ukrainian activists shouted: 'Russia kills civilians', 'Putin is a criminal', 'Russia is a terrorist state'.

The action 'Immortal Regiment' is a propaganda event held in the Russian Federation before Victory Day on May 9. During the march, relatives of those who died in World War II carry their portraits. Earlier, the Russian authorities canceled the holding of this action, citing security threats. However, Russian media cited another reason - the uncertainty of how to deal with portraits of dead Russians from the war in Ukraine, as they may reveal the extent of losses that the Russian authorities are trying to conceal.

Analysis:

In Washington, the 'Immortal Regiment' action took place for the first Time in six years, which is a propaganda event organized by Russian occupiers. Participants of this action marched from the White House to the World War II Memorial, carrying portraits of their relatives who died in this war. However, Ukrainian and pro-Ukrainian activists did not leave this without attention and came to the event, shouting slogans against the Russians. As a result, Russian media present at the event retreated from Ukrainian activists to avoid showing propaganda footage. Thus, Ukrainian activists successfully hindered the patronage of the Russian march. Analyzing the event as a whole, it can be concluded that there is a significant number of people in Ukraine who do not accept the propaganda events conducted by Russian occupiers and are willing to stand against them. This indicates the kindled patriotism and steadfast will of Ukrainians to defend their country and uphold historical truth.
