Russia is planning a military parade in the embattled city of Mariupol, Ukraine's intelligence service said on Wednesday.
The parade is set to be held in the south-eastern Ukrainian city on 9 May to coincide with Moscow's Victory Day Parade, which celebrates its victory over Nazi Germany in the Second World War.
Mariupol "will become the centre of celebrations", said the Ukrainian Military Intelligence (GUR) in a statement published on Telegram.

Audiences in Russia will also be shown footage of Mariupol rejoicing at having Russian troops in their city, it continued.

But, will they have gays in the parade? What about dogs and floats?
Good. They’ll all be bunched up.

Good point on not all the places being sympathetic to Russia.
I think Zelensky is just doing what he’s told to do. The West (in my opinion) doesn’t want this settled quickly. They want a drawn-out Afghanistan/USSR scenario they think they can win over time. Who cares about Ukrainian cannon fodder, I believe the thinking goes.
No doubt on the Poland claims. Galicia and all of that.

hahahaah!
Great questions!
Putin acts like this is all a game..
Meh...the sound of explosions in the background while the liberated Mariupol residents enjoy a Victory parade adds to the ambiance.
“Many are genuinely happy for the stability and security Russian rule offers.”
Oh yea. The security of political repression, wholesale theft of national resources and private property, all enforced at the point of Russian rifles.
“The best chance for Ukraine to keep their country including Odessa, is to sue for peace.”
Pansy.
L
heh. Fireworks!
OK so more senseless death and destruction then
The best chance for Ukraine to keep their country including Odessa, is to sue for peace.

Russia was never going to allow Ukraine to join NATO. Its just a geopolitical reality. There probably was a path to peace that would have avoided this catastrophe (by agreeing to not pursue NATO membership) but that seems to be a lost opportunity.
This conflict only deepens as the costs rise. The real danger is some type of miscalculation that sparks a direct confrontation between Russia and the West. Who knows what that might lead to?
Nonsense. That's not what they say when they are free to talk about the situation without some Russian or DNR good looking at them during the interview.
I don’t believe Zelensky was ever going to join NATO, but he and his predecessor have grossly mismanaged this country and allied themselves with the worst elements of the war mongers who supposedly represent us in the West.
This has never been about black hats vs white hats. These people have never known democracy and freedom, so they’ll take what they can get. Unlike Hitler marching in and being welcomed by many only to squander away all the good will, Putin is doing this smartly. Yeah these people are easily manipulated, but I guess they prefer troops handing out food and water vs handing out bullets and bombs, which is all Zelensky and his attack dogs have given them in the last 8 years.
if they don’t capitalize on it, well...
When you’re being invaded it’s not senseless to resist.

Any time neo-Nazis are vanquished from the earth, it is a reason to celebrate.
I’m not sure they even celebrate Victory over the Nazis in Lviv...lets hope they send some “fireworks” their way as well to remind them.
Why would they announce that they plan to be at a certain location at a certain time?
Are they trying to get killed?
Or is it a trap?
No, actually the people prefer being left alone instead of murdered or raped by Russian soldiers.
These Ukrainian civilians waiting for a bus really did not want to die, but they died from the Russian mortar round you can watch killing them here
The Ukrainian people that used to shop at the store in this video would have preferred if the Russians didn't steal their food and water. You can watch the Russians looting the store here
The Russian speaking people of Mariupol did not want their city destroyed, but that is what Putin's army did and is doing. Take a look
Mrs. Abramova would have preferred, to use your word, that the Russians not execute her husband. "Irina Abramova says her husband was taken out of their home in slippers, made to kneel on the street outside and shot in the head by Russian soldiers. ‘They told us we deserve to be punished for having Nazis in our govt. They’re not human’ Watch her tears yourself
You are incorrect about the people of the Ukraine. They have known freedom and democracy. Unfortunately Putin and his soldiers are trying to take that away from them.
But that's not who the Russians are killing. Are you the kind of person that celebrates the death of innocent civilians and the rape of teenage girls? That's really what any Russian "celebration" is about.
