Russia Limits Victory Day Celebrations Amid War Losses and Drone Attacks.

Russia is reducing its Victory Day parades, using an alleged drone attack on the Kremlin as an excuse, likely to conceal its military losses in Ukraine. The annual celebrations are designed to demonstrate Russia's military strength, but this year's celebrations have been significantly scaled back. The Kremlin "likely hopes to limit typical May 9 events to conceal the degradation of the Russian military." Victory Day events usually show off advanced Russian military equipment, but a lot of that equipment is either being used in Ukraine or has been destroyed in the fighting.
