Russia scales down WW2 victory parade due to Ukrainian threat • FRANCE 24 English

No military hardware will roll through Red Square in Russia's grand World War II victory parade next month -- a precautionary measure given the threat of Ukrainian retaliatory strikes, the Kremlin said Wednesday. The move to a slimmed-down May 9 parade -- typically a bombastic display of Russia's military might -- comes more than four years into Russia's war in Ukraine that has killed hundreds of thousands and drained vast economic resources.
