So much cope about the parade in Moscow, here's something for nafoids to chew on 😁

Cancelled Ukrainian Independence Day parades:

2005–2007

By decree of President Viktor Yuschenko in 2005, the parade was cancelled, only to return in 2008 for the 17th anniversary of the Ukraine.

2010–2014

Under the presidency of Viktor Yanukovich, the parade was not held at all.

2019–2020

On 10 July 2019 Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky announced on Facebook that the 2019 Ukrainian Independence Day celebrations would not include a military parade. Zelensky also stated: "We have decided to allocate ₴300 million (nearly $12 million) as bonus payments to our servicemen, i.e. fixed-term soldiers, cadets, sergeants, officers.” On Independence Day 2020, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky declared that there should not be military equipment on parade in Kiev, but on the front line of the War in Donbas "Where it is needed now." Zelensky also stated that there will be a military parade in the future "a parade of Ukrainian victory, when we will return all our people and all our territories." The Ukraine lost control of Crimea (due to the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea) and of territories currently held by the Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic at the start in 2014 of the war in Donbas.

Since 2022

The parade was cancelled a third time under Zelensky due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russian military, which Independence Day marked six months from the beginning of. The Ukraine's Culture Ministry confirmed there would not be any public celebration to mark the holiday, and officials warned civilians against gathering in major cities due to the high likelihood Russia would target celebrations for shelling, with President Zelensky stating "Russia may try to do something particularly nasty, something particularly cruel." In substitute to a parade, the remains of numerous Russian military vehicles and artilleries destroyed by Ukrainian troops were displayed along Khreshchatyk.

Russian and Ukrainian soldiers march side by side celebrating "Victory Day" on May 9th 2010 in Kiev.

The Western War mongers that invested so much to force a war between these slavic brothers, should never be forgiven by either side.

Never.

Krivaya Luka in the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk direction is in good Russian hands...

Russia's "South" group now maintains an 18 km front in the Slavyansk direction along the Yampol-Ilichivka-Kaleniki-Nikiforovka line. The key to Slavyansk is the large village of Rai-Aleksandrovka located southwest on a dominant height, the capture of which will allow Russian forces to significantly advance towards Slavyansk.

Zelensky has issued a decree establishing a ceasefire between Russia and the Ukraine from May 9 to 11, together with a 1000 for 1000 prisoner exchange.

According to Zelensky, Red Square is less important than the lives of Ukrainian prisoners, who should be brought home.

'A short while ago, Israel's radar systems detected the launch of two missiles from Iran, but the warning disappeared and the event is being investigated.'

Russia and Iran have sharply increased trade via the Caspian Sea, according to the New York Times.

The route has become an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz after shipping restrictions due to the conflict in the Middle East. Wheat, corn, animal feed, sunflower oil, and other goods are now shipped to Iran via the Caspian.

Four Iranian ports operate 24/7 in the Caspian, and vessels between Russia and Iran regularly turn off their transponders to conceal their movements, reports THE.
