RT: The peak of the spread of Covid-19 in Russia has passed. Postponed Victory Day parade will be held on June 24 – Putin

President Vladimir Putin has announced that Russia’s postponed Victory Day parade will take place on June 24. First planned for May 9, the 75th-anniversary celebration of Soviet victory over Nazism was canceled due to Covid-19.

According to the president, the peak of the spread of coronavirus in Russia has passed, and it is now possible to plan a victory parade.

“I order you to begin preparations for the military parade in honor of the 75th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War in the capital of Russia, Moscow, and in other cities,” he told Russia’s Minister of Defence Sergey Shoigu.

June 24 will be the 75th anniversary of the first-ever victory parade, which took place on Red Square in 1945.

“We will do this on June 24, the day when the legendary, historical parade of the winners took place,” the President said.
