Russia To Hold Victory Parade Without Military Equipment. Russia will mark its annual Victory Day with a military parade in Moscow, but without displaying traditional military hardware. The event, held on May 9, commemorates the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two and is one of the country’s most significant national celebrations. This year, authorities say the absence of equipment reflects the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with resources focused on what Moscow calls its “special military operation”. Instead, the parade will feature marching personnel from across the armed forces, alongside a flypast by military aircraft. Victory Day remains a key moment of national pride, marked by ceremonies, remembrance events and tributes to veterans. The decision highlights the continued impact of the war, now entering its fifth year, on Russia’s military and public life.
