Moscow held its annual Victory Day parade in Red Square, attended by President Vladimir Putin and several foreign dignitaries. The event was marked by significant security precautions.
The heightened security was implemented in light of a U.S.-brokered three-day ceasefire, which aimed to alleviate concerns regarding potential disruptions from Ukraine.
While the ceasefire may have reduced immediate tensions, the atmosphere surrounding the celebrations remained cautious, reflecting ongoing geopolitical complexities.
