Details: Media reports indicate that this year the parade is being held in a scaled-back format, without a column of military equipment, cadets or students from the Suvorov and Nakhimov military schools.
According to Russian propagandists, Andrei Mordvichev, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Ground Forces, is commanding the parade on Red Square for the first time.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that on 9 May, there were "no attempts to disrupt the Victory Day celebrations".
Background: Ukraine has officially allowed Russia to hold the Victory Day parade as part of a ceasefire arrangement.
