Ben Wallace: Russia 'mirroring' WW2 fascism in Ukraine invasion
Russia is " mirroring" the " fascism and tyranny" of 70 years ago in its invasion of Ukraine, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has said.
Speaking as Russia staged a military parade marking its defeat of Nazi Germany in World War Two, he accused Russian generals of hijacking their " forebears' proud history".
Mr Wallace said the generals must face War Crimes trials.
The defence secretary said there " can be no Victory Day , only dishonour".
In a speech at the National Army Museum, Mr Wallace said: " Putin, his Inner Circle and generals are now mirroring the fascism and tyranny of 70 years ago, repeating the errors of last century's totalitarian regimes. "
He continued: " So let's call out the absurdity of Russian generals - Resplendent in their manicured parade uniforms and weighed down by their many medals - for being utterly complicit in Putin's hijacking of their forebears' proud history of defending against a ruthless invasion; of repelling fascism; of sacrificing themselves for a higher purpose.
" Instead now, they are The Ones inflicting needless suffering in The Service of lowly gangsterism. "
He Said the Russian Army 's actions " dishonour" the country's World War Two fighters and called for Russian generals to face courts martial over their actions during Russia's " illegal invasion".
Mr Wallace pointed to attacks on civilians, the targeting of women and children and instances of sexual violence. He Said all professional soldiers " should be appalled" at the Russian Army 's behaviour.
The defence secretary accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of " ripping up both Russia's past and its future".
Mr Putin has been attending as he attempts to rally public support for The War in Ukraine.
The Event commemorates The Anniversary of the Soviet victory over The Nazis in 1945. But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of forgetting everything that was important to The Victors .
Russia began its invasion of neighbouring Ukraine on 24 February, describing it as a " special military operation". Mr Putin has repeatedly claimed The War is an assault on Nazism in the country.
