Enhanced security measures are in place in Moscow for President Putin's speech at the Red Square parade commemorating the victory over Nazi Germany. A three-day ceasefire brokered by the US has eased fears of Ukrainian strikes during the celebrations. This year's parade will not feature heavy weaponry for the first time in nearly two decades, attributed to the threat of Ukrainian attacks. Previous ceasefires have failed, and tensions remain high as Putin uses the occasion to bolster national pride and military support amidst ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
