The military parade commemorating Russia’s victory over Nazi Germany on Victory Day will be held in Moscow’s Red Square at 10 a.m. local time. The parade, which is broadcast live by HS, typically includes more than 9,000 people and 70 military vehicles, with soldiers fighting in Russia’s “special operation” in Ukraine also participating. Despite the celebrations in Moscow, some regions have canceled their parades for security reasons. Crimea, which Russia has occupied since 2014, and the region of Belgorod near the Ukrainian border have both canceled their events. This highlights the ongoing tensions and conflicts surrounding Victory Day celebrations in Russia. HS’s Moscow correspondent Jenni Jeskanen is following the day’s events in Moscow and serves as a reminder of the historical significance of World War II and its impact on global politics and military relations.
