Putin's Victory Day Parade Cancelled Amid Ukraine Conflict.

Russia's annual Victory Day Parade, which marks the Soviet Union's role in defeating Nazi Germany during World War II, is being canceled in several cities due to reported military shortcomings in the ongoing war against Ukraine. The cancelations have led to criticism of Russia's current military standing, with some mocking President Putin for not having enough soldiers and equipment to hold the parade. The cancelations also point to serious problems that are difficult to disguise even in Russia's tightly controlled information environment.
