Russia scales down Victory Day parade, omits tanks as Moscow faces drone attacks
Russia will stage its May 9 Victory Day parade on Red Square without tanks for the first time in nearly two decades, featuring only marching troops. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said Ukrainian forces launched dozens of drones toward the capital overnight on May 8, prompting heightened security measures. The Kremlin said it did not invite foreign leaders to the celebrations, though several foreign guests still plan to attend. The omission of heavy armor and the drone attacks constrain Russia's traditional show of force and raise fresh security concerns for ceremonies in Moscow.
Just sent out this post. The maneuvering around the Moscow "victory" day parade set for tomorrow reveals a great deal about the state of the war. Putin is desperate to protect himself, but the Ukrainians have maneuvered him into a trap. They may take advantage. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Ó Comáin7I will never get over the fucking gall it takes to declare a unilateral ceasefire in a war they started and are continuing by choice because they don’t want the Ukrainians to fight back when it’s inconvenient for Moscow. It’s like trying to suspend a poker game but only when you have a bad hand…
