There will be parades in Mariupol, Donetsk/Luhansk (somewhere in there) and several other Russian cities. Belgorad however will not have any parades. The Russian MoD announced that the air parade portion has been canceled due to bad weather. All links provided are live.

ISW mentioned Belgorod has become a staging area for Russian troops massing in response to the beating their fellows are getting east of Kharkiv.

Makes sense.. Everything i've seen makes Belgorad the lynch-pin for all Russian operations in Ukraine. All troops (incoming and outgoing), equipment, supplies, etc.

If people are going to listen to the Russian audio make sure you have boots on because its getting pretty thick.

This overall Russia-Ukraine "war" gives me a History Channel feeling, with Xcathdra describing the action and tactics.

In May?

Appears to be a bit of rain there.

This is what we are missing from the air parade portion.

The U.S. media outlets that specialize in everything but the truth, say 30% of Russia's military has been destroyed by Ukraine. (MSNBC specifically) Does the parade look smaller this year?

a reply to: carewemust

I have no idea. The last parade I watched with Russia was the year US soldiers participated. As far as people discussing the overall damage Russia has taken yes, thats being said and is probable.

Well that was quick.. Parade is done.

Must be a small victory.

Useless parade and the lack of anything seems on purpose. The West kept hyping it up like something crazy was gonna happen. Same old BS from the media. I think Putin called our bluff on this one.

a reply to: Wookiep

What bluff? Russia always does the may 9th parade. The weather was apparently bad enough to cancel the air parade portion.

I wish I could say on a loud speaker how when WW2 started they attacked Poland with the Nazis.

I understand your frustration.

You opened the topic and gathered here to savor the announcement of a general mobilization, but this did not happen.

Your media has once again deceived you.

What deception?

russia's own situation and comments led to media speculation, which is how it's supposed to work.



Now, how do you think russia will find the influx of troops it desperately needs in Ukraine if a general mobilization is off the table?

What do you suppose that the entire Russian army is fighting in Ukraine?!
