The European Union must not be intimidated by Moscow's show-casing of military power but continue to support Ukraine for as long as it takes, Germany Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Tuesday as Russia marked Victory Day with a parade.

"2,200 kilometres northeast from here, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin is parading his soldiers, tanks and missiles today," Scholz told lawmakers in a speech at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, according to prepared remarks.

"We must not be intimidated by such power plays! Let's remain steadfast in our support for Ukraine - for as long as it takes!"
