This Tuesday, Russia is celebrating Victory Day in maximum security, at a time of high tension between Moscow and Kiev, with mutual accusations of air attacks and fears on both sides of exploiting the event for more attacks.
Victory Day, which celebrates the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, the end of World War II in Europe, has its center of celebration in Moscow, with a military parade on Red Square, which has been closed for several days, but in at least 21 other cities in Russia or in the occupied regions of Ukraine the stops were cancelled.
The Russian President personally took the organization of the ceremony into his own hands, scheduling a speech, despite unconfirmed information from Ukrainian sources, who admitted that Vladimir Putin would only speak online.
