So, six regions and 21 cities in Russia, as well as the occupying authorities of Crimea, canceled traditional parades. The Kremlin will not hold a reception, and Moscow will be limited to a celebration on a smaller scale. This was announced on May 6 by the British Ministry of Defense on Twitter.
It is also noted that the Russian authorities canceled the course of the “Immortal Regiment”, during which photographs of deceased veterans of World War II are carried, as well as the Army International Games, during which the so-called tank biathlon is held.
Such actions of the dictatorship indicate that the leadership of the aggressor country is beginning to increasingly feel threatened by drone attacks. It became especially scary in Moscow after an unknown drone crashed into the roof of the Kremlin. It may also indicate Russia’s growing vulnerability to such attacks and almost certainly heightened the Russian leadership’s sense of threat in connection with the Victory Day events.
British intelligence does not rule out that the lifting of measures until May 9 is likely to cause a wave of discontent over the war in Ukraine.
Earlier it was reported that in Russia, more than 20 cities have abolished parades in honor of Victory Day in 2023. In some cities, measures were canceled “for security reasons”, in others – care for the “participants of the SVO” who came for rehabilitation. In a number of cities, the authorities did not begin to explain the cancellation of parades at all.
It also became known that the Russian dictator canceled the traditional meeting in the Kremlin with World War II veterans on May 9.
