Russia's annual Victory Day celebrations, marking the Soviet Union's triumph over Nazi Germany in World War II, are set to undergo significant changes this year. In a surprise move, Russian authorities have announced that military vehicles and cadets will be absent from the highly anticipated parade, which typically features a grand display of military might and patriotic fervor. The decision comes as Russia continues to face international criticism over its ongoing military actions in Ukraine, and may be seen as an attempt to downplay the country's military presence. With the parade scheduled to take place on May 9, eyes will be on Moscow to see how the changes will impact the tone and atmosphere of the celebrations.
Russia says the annual commemoration of Soviet victory in World War Two will not feature military vehicles or cadets.
