D-Day anniversary highlights parallels with Ukraine war and honors WWII veterans.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin pointed to parallels between the liberation of Europe during World War II and Ukraine's fight against Russia's invasion at the D-Day anniversary ceremony in Normandy. As Ukraine awaits the outcome of its counteroffensive, the comparison with the Normandy landings is stark. The destruction of the Nova Khakhova dam in Ukraine is putting thousands of civilians at risk, and the country's President Volodymyr Zelensky called for Russia to be expelled from every corner of Ukrainian land.
