Russian troops gather in Moscow for Russia's Victory Day parade
Russia's Victory Day parade, which celebrates the Soviet Union's Second World War victory, is underway in Moscow.

Russian President Vladimir Putin in his speech said troops and volunteers in the eastern Ukrainian Donbas region were "fighting for the motherland, its future" and he accused the West of preparing for an "invasion of our land".
