Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced on April 29 that the Victory Day Parade on May 9 would be held without equipment due to increased terrorist activity in Kiev. He noted that the parade would take place anyway. At the same time, last year there was an anniversary, large-format parade, which was supposed to take place on a round date. The current date is not an anniversary date, so the parade will be held in a truncated format.
