First, the Victory Parade in May 2023 was the shortest of all, held on Red Square earlier. It lasted only an hour. Secondly, it was not accepted by Russian President Vladimir Putin, as it was last year, but Minister of Defense Sergei Shoig. In addition, according to the media, the "Victory Parade" was extremely negligible military equipment. Strategic aviation did not participate at all. Military equipment was represented by the T-34 tank, which was 80 years old.

Russia's international isolation was also demonstrated by politicians who flew to Moscow to participate in the parade. These were representatives of Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. In addition, the leader of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko arrived at the parade, who felt bad and went to Minsk after the parade was over, not staying for lunch with the heads of other countries.

CNN also stated that the parade on Red Square has never disanized with the real state of affairs in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which for several months could not capture the city of Bakhmut in Donetsk region and suffer the losses caused by him. We will remind, the German newspaper Bild called Vladimir Putin's speech at the parade on May 9 by propaganda of aggression and exaltation of crimes of the Russian army.

The publication stressed that Putin praises the victory over the Nazis while he continues to attack Ukraine and threaten nuclear weapons all over Europe. In addition, on May 10, the British intelligence explained why the parade in Moscow was without military equipment. The parade was attended by 8,000 servicemen, but most of them were auxiliary, militant forces and cadets of military educational institutions.
