Moscow Times: At Least 20 Russian Cities Scrap WWII Victory Parades
At least 21 Russian cities have called off their annual military parades marking the Soviet victory in World War II next week, the independent Vyorstka media outlet reported Thursday, as the country has alleged a flurry of drone attacks on its territory ahead of a Ukrainian counteroffensive.

That Putin may not be able to reign in the hardcore elements of his government, like former Russian President Medvedev, who are now calling for the complete eradication of the Ukraine government.
