On May 9, 2025, Burkina Faso's president, Capitain Ibrahim Traoré, attended Moscow's Victory Day parade, marking the 80th anniversary of the Soviet triumph over Nazism.
The event at Red Square, followed by a wreath-laying ceremony, highlighted strengthening Burkina Faso-Russia ties as Traoré honored the Soviet Army.
Warmly welcomed by President Vladimir Putin, Traoré held talks on May 10 to deepen military cooperation against terrorism in the Sahel.
This visit builds on prior engagements, like the 2023 Russia-Africa summit, signaling a strategic alignment.
Traoré stated, "This historic victory is a source of confidence for me in the wholehearted commitment of my country and the AES Confederation to winning the war against terrorism and imperialism at all costs," underscoring Burkina Faso's resolve and partnership with Russia.
