Russians decide against May demonstration and Victory Day parade in Crimea

The Kremlin-appointed “head of Crimea”, Sergey Aksenov, has said that a demonstration and parade would not be held on the occupied peninsula this year on 1 May and Victory Day [a Russian holiday that commemorates the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in 1945, celebrated on 9 May – ed.].

Quote from Aksenov: “The authorities of the Republic of Crimea and the Hero City of Sevastopol have made a joint decision not to hold festive demonstrations on 1 May, marches of the Immortal Regiment or a military parade on Victory Day.”

Details: According to the so-called “head of Crimea”, this decision was made for security reasons.

In the meantime, Aksenov recently said that Russians on the peninsula are not afraid of a counteroffensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and do not see it as a “catastrophe” for them.

Background: Before that, the governors of the Belgorod and Kursk oblasts of the Russian Federation decided to cancel military parades on 9 May so as not to “provoke the enemy” with an accumulation of military personnel and equipment.

  1. It’s very hard to hold a military parade when all your military is busy trying to destroy another country.

  2. I hope the thought they might get blown to fuck had put them off.

    • The facade is collapsing on the Moskali. Next year they may try to again claim victory over the nazis but it will look very strange after losing to little Ukraine…

  3. I wonder if this is a concession towards increasing resentment from the residents of the Crimea against the russian occupiers.

    • “Wolverines” will keep giving the rashists hell no matter what they do or don’t do until the rashists are dead, expelled or captured. The AFU will soon overwhelm the orcs like a raging fire of vengence.

  4. As fearful the West is of mafia land, mafia land is fearful of Ukraine. What does this say about Ukraine?
