Moscow: Even after the war going on in Ukraine for more than two years, Russia has not yet achieved success. On the contrary, Russia is facing tough competition from Ukraine. Recently Ukraine has launched deadly drone attacks against Russia, which has horrified Moscow. The fear of Ukrainian drone strikes is such that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been forced to cancel annual victory parade events. Putin, 71, has canceled most celebrations scheduled for May 9, the most important day in the Russian calendar. The reason for this has been Ukraine’s drone attacks, the exact solution to which Putin’s army has not been able to find yet. The Victory Day Parade is organized to commemorate the defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War. The President of Russia is the guest of honor in this parade held on Red Square in Moscow. President Putin usually uses this event to show the strength of the Russian military. According to the report of British media portal The Sun, this time there is a cloud of crisis over this parade. However, the parade will be held on Red Square amid tight security in the presence of President Putin, but there will be no display of big artillery. Additionally, several regional parades have also been cancelled, including those in Belgorod, Bryansk, Ryazan, Kursk and Saratov regions.
There will be no parade even in the areas occupied by Ukraine
According to reports, due to security threats, parades have also been canceled in Ukrainian-occupied territories including Zaporizhia and Crimea. Putin may also have another fear behind banning these parades that anti-war protesters may dominate during this parade and this will bring disrepute to Moscow. Anti-war sentiment has been on the rise in Russia since the attack on Ukraine. A large number of people have taken to the streets to protest against the attack. However, Putin has shown great toughness in dealing with these demonstrations.

The parade was canceled in 2023 also
Last year too, Russia had canceled the Victory Day parade in large parts of the country. A small event was held in Moscow, in which no major military weapons were demonstrated. It is also being said that due to the two-year-long war in Ukraine, there is a shortage of tanks to be displayed in the parade, due to which it had to be cancelled.
