The traditional Victory Day military parade in Russia marks the World War II victory over Nazi Germany and begins at 10 a.m. Finnish time at Moscow’s Red Square. More than 9,000 people and 70 military vehicles will participate in the parade, with soldiers from Russia’s “special operation” in Ukraine also taking part. However, the parade has been canceled in some regions such as Crimea and Belgorod for security reasons.
The cancellation of the parade and restrictions on celebrations have been announced by various regions. HS will broadcast the events live from Moscow, with their correspondent Jenni Jeskanen reporting on the day’s events. The parade in Moscow will proceed as planned, showcasing Russia’s military strength and honoring the victory in World War II.
In addition to the military parade in Moscow, various events and celebrations will take place across Russia to mark Victory Day. Despite the cancellation of the parade in some regions, the significance of the day and the importance of honoring those who fought and sacrificed for victory in World War II remain central to the commemorations. Victory Day serves as a reminder of the courage and resilience of the Russian people during a challenging period in history.
