Russia’s Victory Day ceremony traditionally echoes the grand military parades of the Soviet era, yet was scaled back amid the war in Ukraine. “Civilization again finds itself at a decisive, critical moment. A real war has again been launched against our motherland,” Putin said. Just hours before the ceremony, Russia launched a wave of airstrikes against Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, with Ukrainian authorities claiming to have shot down 23 of 25 missiles.

However, Moscow’s Red Square military parade will go ahead on Tuesday despite Russia’s claim of an attempted Ukrainian drone attack on the Kremlin. For all the fearsome armaments that will be on display, Russia’s failure to make gains in Ukraine has undermined the image of its army’s indomitability.
