Putin's Victory Day Parade Fails to Impress Amidst Criticism and Isolation.

Russia's scaled-down Victory Day military parade on Tuesday showed not only Russia's insecurities over possible Ukrainian attacks, but also highlighted the country's depleted military resources as a result of the war in Ukraine. The UK is reportedly considering whether to designate the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary force fighting in Ukraine, as a "terrorist organization," with France separately calling on the EU to recognize the group as such. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked President Joe Biden for the latest security assistance package worth $1.2 billion. AFP video photographer Arman Soldin has died in Ukraine, the French news wire service said on Twitter. Ukraine's military said Russian forces launched 20 missiles against the cities of Kramatorsk and Kostyantynivka in the Donetsk region.
