Eastern Ukraine Celebrates Anniversary of Defeat of Nazi Germany

TeleSUR's special correspondent in the Donbass region in rebel-held eastern Ukraine joined pro-Russian militias and civilians in celebrating the 70th anniversary of the victory over German fascism. This is the first time in 20 years that the parade celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany by the Red Army is being held, as it had been banned by the Ukrainian central government in Kiev. The Russian-speaking majority in the region strongly identifies with its shared past with the rest of the former Soviet Union. teleSUR
