"Moscow's security measures included shutting down all four airports and cutting mobile internet access for many users, reflecting heightened concerns over potential drone attacks during the Victory Day parade."
"The parade, a significant national celebration, will proceed without heavy military hardware for the first time in nearly two decades, amid fears of long-range Ukrainian drone strikes."
"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a separate truce from 6 May, emphasizing that it was unrealistic to expect Kyiv to observe a ceasefire linked to a Russian military holiday."
"Residents in Moscow experienced dead mobile signals, impacting workers like taxi drivers and delivery couriers, who struggled to complete their tasks without access to mobile services."
Moscow implemented heightened security measures ahead of the 9 May Victory Day parade, including airport closures and mobile internet disruptions. The parade will occur without heavy military hardware for the first time in nearly two decades due to concerns over Ukrainian drone strikes. A unilateral ceasefire was declared by Moscow for 8-9 May, which Ukraine dismissed as insincere. Security in the city has intensified, with checkpoints and military personnel deployed. Mobile service disruptions affected workers, particularly taxi drivers and delivery couriers, before access was largely restored by midday.
