Victory Day Parade Under Scrutiny Amidst Russian Security Measures
As Russia prepares for its annual Victory Day parade, security measures have been significantly heightened, including temporary airport closures and mobile internet disruptions in Moscow. The parade itself has been scaled back and will proceed without heavy military hardware for the first time in nearly two decades, a move stemming from concerns over potential Ukrainian drone strikes. These security enhancements come as Ukraine has demonstrated its capacity to breach Moscow’s air defenses, further fueling anxieties surrounding the national celebration.
