The annual military parade in Moscow’s Red Square has a new significance this year, as Russian forces continue their two-month assault in Ukraine. As tanks roll through the city streets, speculation is intensifying over President Vladimir Putin’s next move.
Fighter jets and bombers roared over Moscow earlier this week.
It was just a rehearsal – for a grand military parade and flypast to mark Victory Day.
The ninth of May is one of the most important holidays in the Russian calendar and on Monday there’ll be military processions all over the country to commemorate the Soviet Victory over Nazi Germany in 1945. As always, flags flutter from almost every building and shop windows are decorated with golden stars.
