Putin show: Russian strongman holds a huge rally in front of thousands of 'Z' flag-waving Russians in World Cup stadium and calls for 'a world without Nazism' hails success of Ukraine 'special operation'

"The pro-war event was held to mark the eighth anniversary of Russia's illegal annexation of
Crimea in 2014, and saw the Russian strongman talk about the success of his 'special operation' in Ukraine. The white 'Z' has become a symbol of pro-Russian nationalism since Putin launched his brutal invasion of his neighbor on February 24, as it is painted on many of Moscow's military vehicles. As his bombs continued to fall just hundreds of miles away in Ukraine, Putin boasted of Russia and Crimea's 'shared destiny', and praised the peninsula's people for voting in a referendum to be part of Russia - which was held while it was still occupied by Russian troops."
