- Russia staged a scaled‑down Victory Day parade.
- The parade coincided with a temporary ceasefire in the Ukraine war, marking a brief pause in hostilities.
- CNN described the event as a less muscular parade that underscored President Vladimir Putin’s growing vulnerability.
- The Economist noted that the modest parade comes as Russia's missile and drone attacks have killed at least 63 Ukrainian civilians.
Why it matters: Ukrainian civilians bear the brunt, with at least 63 killed, while Russia’s weakened morale and international standing risk further isolation and reduced war funding for the Kremlin's war machine.
