May 9 parades across other regions in Russia have been cancelled this year over 'security concerns'.
VLADIMIR Putin paraded nuclear missile launchers, tanks and thousands of war-ready troops this morning ahead of his triumphant Victory Day event.

Ahead of the patriotic event, Russia's fearsome intercontinental nuclear missiles were pulled through the capital's streets in a show of force to the West.
Huge columns of troops marched towards the Red Square and even children in oversized battledress joined in the military festivities.
The real events will be held on Thursday under intense security, with reports suggesting that Moscow's centrepiece show will be scaled back this year.

Last year, Victory Day was also cancelled across a swathe of Russian territories with a pared-down event in Moscow that featured barely any heavy duty military equipment on display.
Like this year, local governors cited "security concerns".
Putin only spoke for 10 minutes and the entire event was over in well under an hour.

I had to look up when Russia’s Victory Day was being held (9 May 2024). I don’t know if they’ll have Chasiv Yar by then, but they are the doorsteps of the city.
LOL!
What Valerii Zaluzhny doink for Ukraine Democracy Day*?
Mark your calendars! Eight days! For the Azov guys in Kharkov - prepare your personal parade generators!
*The period of the martial law regime in The Ukraine has been extended until 13 May 2024, but it can be further extended unlimited times.
I don’t know of any bulls that are stronk.
tout1 /tout/
verb gerund or present participle: touting
1. attempt to sell (something), typically by pestering people in an aggressive or bold manner. "Jim was touting his wares"
2. NORTH AMERICAN offer racing tips for a share of any resulting winnings.
Journalism, the new hind end of donkey, apparently neither the writer nor the editor know the difference between toting and touting. yeah that's what I got about the story which is just same old, same old in Mother Russia.
Little Vloddy, Supreme Dictator of The Ukraine, may get a Little Democracy as a surprise gift.
*The period of the martial law regime in The Ukraine has been extended until 13 May 2024, but it can be further extended unlimited times.
Gun touting? I’d heard of Soviet soldiers trying to sell their AK-74s to tourists, back in the day.
Putin isn’t going to take out Zelensky. Putin would rather deal with a known quantity than an unknown.
Little Vloddy zElenskyy promises electricity in Kharkov in 3 months!
Right.
Zaluzhny and the Azov guys might not have the same agenda. 
Marcus to apply The MaximumCrank.
Zaluzhny isn’t the commander-in-chief of the Uke military forces anymore and the Azov are getting destroyed at the hands of the Ruskies just like any other Ukes.
Zaluzhny is currently a member of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
I don’t know about two weeks.

I see the Russians are copying Rolls Royce instead of coming up with an original luxury car.
Also, love that hammer and sickle! More proof that the USSR is back!
I’m a terrific dancer, but that’s not my style.
