Vladimir Putin has had to cancel multiple Victory Day parades over ‘security risks’.
-snip-
Celebrated every year on May 9, the Victory Parade will take place online in some regions, Elena Tsunaeva, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Labour, Social Policy and Veterans’ Affairs, announced.
Portraits of veterans will be placed on public transport instead of the procession.
Heads of multiple Russian regions and occupied Crimea, for example, announced that events will be scaled back or not happening at all, despite it being the most solemn day in the Russian calendar.
Victory parades and fireworks have been axed in the regions of Belgorod, Bryansk, Pskov, Ryazan, Kursk and Saratov.

In the meantime, the demonstration on Red Square in Moscow will go ahead, but under intense security measures.
Across Russia hundreds of marches of the ‘Immortal Regiment’ – when people carry photos of their war veteran relatives – have been scrapped too.
One fear was that these events could be hijacked by anti-war protesters.
Putin-appointed puppet leader of Crimea Sergei Aksenov confirmed: ‘There are no plans to hold a military parade and the Immortal Regiment march in the Republic of Crimea on May 9. This is due to security issues.’

Probably a smart move, optics of no parade as compared to t-14 getting drones in red square. Tough choice, he continues to be a master strategist
He has to cancel parades, yet we’re supposed to believe he will overrun Europe if we don’t send Ukraine billions?
Yep! Makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it?/sarc
Putin killed his most successful general of the entire war, Prigozhin.
Since killing off Prigo, Russia has only been advancing a laughable 30 yards a day.
The current Euro-Reich doesn’t celebrate Victory Day, they mourn it.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!

... to be added to the best Zeeper-provided entertainment since Paul Shanklin parodies, ping me bro.
“Putin” and “victory parades” in the same sentence. That’s sure to create quite the morkandmindymus Vladgasm.

30 yards a day, 5 miles at a time, pretty soon adds up to real milage.
