Russian troops marched through central Moscow during a rehearsal for the upcoming Victory Day parade, which will take place without heavy military equipment.
Troops rehearsed for the upcoming traditional Victory Day parade on Wednesday in Moscow, which the Russian Defense Ministry says will take place without military equipment.
Video showed troops preparing for the rehearsal and moving into formation near the parade route.
This year’s Victory Day parade will not include heavy military vehicles, marking a departure from previous years.
The decision comes as authorities face increased Ukrainian drone attacks targeting Moscow and other regions of Russia in recent months.
