Over 65,000 individuals have been anticipated to participate with 2,400 armament and materials models.
The parade this yr comes in opposition to the backdrop of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of its neighbor Ukraine, which has seen hundreds killed and brought on greater than 5 million individuals to flee the nation.
The invasion has prompted worldwide condemnation and swathes of wide-ranging financial sanctions on the nation’s key sectors, corporations and people linked to the Kremlin.
