Russia Holds Downsized Victory Day Parade Amid Fragile Ceasefire with Ukraine

Russia held its annual Victory Day military parade in Moscow, significantly scaled back due to security concerns, with President Putin stating that Russian forces are fighting "aggression backed by the entire bloc of NATO". This comes as a three-day ceasefire, announced by US President Trump, is in effect between Russia and Ukraine, though both sides have traded blame for continuing attacks. For the first time, North Korean troops participated in the parade.
