Russia's Victory Day Parade Masks Growing Weakness | JQJO

Russia will mark the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany's defeat with a large military parade in Red Square, showcasing its military might amid its ongoing war in Ukraine. The parade, the largest since the invasion, aims to bolster support for the conflict, linking national pride to the current war effort. However, Russia's position is weakening; its military progress is stalled, its economy is struggling, oil prices are dropping, and even President Trump's support appears to be waning.
