Last-Minute Cancellation of Long Beach Pride Festival Over Safety Paperwork

The Long Beach Pride Festival was canceled about 30 minutes before its start after the city said organizers hadn’t submitted required safety documentation to inspect the venue’s infrastructure, though the Pride Parade remains scheduled for Sunday. City officials said paperwork had been requested repeatedly and that submitted plans were not adequate; organizers counter that paperwork had been submitted. The parade will proceed, and the city is promoting alternative Pride events for the weekend while the dispute over documentation continues.

Russia trims Victory Day parade as drone threats loom over Moscow

Amid intensified Ukrainian drone strikes, Moscow is scaling back its Victory Day parade for the first time in nearly 20 years, removing tanks and missiles and limiting the display to a foot procession by military academies while keeping the aerial show; security has been tightened and authorities cite the ongoing war and potential drone threats as the reason for a more restrained ceremony.

Zelenskyy decries Russia’s cynicism as parade ceasefire amid deadly strikes

Zelenskyy condemned Russia’s bid for a ceasefire to stage a Moscow Victory Day parade after overnight strikes killed five Ukrainians—including three Naftogaz workers and two emergency responders—and left dozens injured, calling it utter cynicism. Russia announced a unilateral ceasefire for Victory Day, while Ukraine offered a reciprocal 24-hour pause if Moscow stops firing, warning Kyiv could disrupt the parade without an agreement. In Poltava, the attack cut gas supply to about 3,500 people; Ukraine has stepped up long‑range strikes on Russian targets as battlefield gains stall, and Moscow says it has downed hundreds of drones. The day’s developments underscore the political theater of the parade amid ongoing war.
