Putin's Victory Day Parade Fails to Impress Russians and Analysts Alike.

Russia's scaled-down Victory Day military parade showed not only Moscow's insecurities over possible Ukrainian attacks but also highlighted the country's depleted military resources due to the conflict, political analysts said. The fact that only one Stalin-era tank was on display in the military parade through Red Square was particularly eye-catching, analysts noted. Security concerns were the ostensible reason for scaled-back Victory Day events in Russia, with an alleged drone attack on the Kremlin last week acting as a precursor to a lower-profile event. Ukraine was obviously quick to remark on the scaled-down Victory Day parade.
