No Military Vehicles at May 9 Parade: Russia Tightens Security Measures

The absence of military hardware at the Victory Day Parade on May 9 in Moscow reflects efforts to minimize risks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. He recalled that Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously stated that Kyiv, while losing territory on the battlefield, had "resorted to full-scale terrorist activity.” "Against the backdrop of this terrorist threat, all necessary measures are being taken to minimize danger. The parade will take place. But let us not forget that last year's event was an anniversary parade, large-scale, the kind held on milestone dates,” Peskov said.
