Russia's event is often touted as an opportunity for Putin to show off his military might through a warship parades.
The Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation first announced the cancellation online as they said: "The Kremlin can no longer pretend that the war doesn't affect Russia's home front.
"The war impacts all areas of life in Russia, even symbolic and high-profile events like the navy parade.
"Today, Russian warships cannot feel safe even on their own territory.
"Against this backdrop, the news that Russia's only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, will be decommissioned and scrapped is especially telling."

Trump slashes 50-day peace deadline
DONALD Trump
Trump slammed the tyrant -
The US President said Putin's new deadline had been reduced down to "10 to 12" days from Monday, which would be August 6 to 8.
He said: "I'm disappointed in President Putin, very disappointed in him.
"So we're going to have to look and I'm going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number."
He later clarified saying: "I'm going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today. There's no reason in waiting, we just don't see any progress being made."
Trump said that the US would do secondary sanctions on Russia -
But that could all be avoided if Putin cuts a peace deal - which Trump thinks could still happen.

Russia says it will no longer abide by self-imposed missile moratorium
Russia has declared that it no longer considers itself bound by a self-imposed moratorium on the deployment of nuclear-capable intermediate-range missiles. It is a warning that potentially sets the stage for a new arms race as tensions between Moscow and Washington rise again over Ukraine. In a statement on Monday, the Russian Foreign Ministry linked the decision to efforts by the US and its allies to develop intermediate-range weapons and preparations for their deployment in Europe and other parts of the world. It specifically cited US plans to deploy Typhoon and Dark Eagle missiles in Germany starting next year. The ministry noted that such actions by the US and its allies create 'destabilising missile potentials' near Russia, creating a 'direct threat to the security of our country' and carry 'significant harmful consequences for regional and global stability, including a dangerous escalation of tensions between nuclear powers'. It did not say what specific moves the Kremlin might take, but President Vladimir Putin has previously announced that Moscow was planning to deploy its new Oreshnik missiles on the territory of its neighbour and ally Belarus later this year. 'Decisions on specific parameters of response measures will be made by the leadership of the Russian Federation based on an interdepartmental analysis of the scale of deployment of American and other Western land-based intermediate-range missiles, as well as the development of the overall situation in the area of international security and strategic stability,' the Foreign Ministry said. The Russian statement follows US President Donald Trump's announcement on Friday that he is ordering the repositioning of two US nuclear submarines 'based on the highly provocative statements' of Dmitry Medvedev, who was president in 2008-12 to allow Mr Putin, bound by term limits, to later return to the office. Mr Trump's statement came as his deadline for the Kremlin to reach a peace deal in Ukraine approaches later this week. Mr Trump said he was alarmed by Mr Medvedev's attitude. Mr Medvedev, who serves as deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council chaired by Mr Putin, has apparently sought to curry favour with his mentor by making provocative statements and frequently lobbing nuclear threats. Last week he responded to Mr Trump's deadline for Russia to accept a peace deal in Ukraine or face sanctions by warning him against 'playing the ultimatum game with Russia' and declaring that 'each new ultimatum is a threat and a step toward war'. Former Russian president Dmitri Medvedev (Alamy/PA) Mr Medvedev also commented on the Foreign Ministry's statement, describing Moscow's withdrawal from the moratorium as 'the result of Nato countries' anti-Russian policy'. 'This is a new reality all our opponents will have to reckon with,' he wrote on X. 'Expect further steps.' Intermediate-range missiles can fly between 500 to 5,500 kilometres (310 to 3,400 miles). Such land-based weapons were banned under the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. Washington and Moscow abandoned the pact in 2019, accusing each other of violations, but Moscow declared its self-imposed moratorium on their deployment until the US makes such a move. The collapse of the INF Treaty has stoked fears of a replay of a Cold War-era European missile crisis, when the US and the Soviet Union both deployed intermediate-range missiles on the continent in the 1980s. Such weapons are seen as particularly destabilising because they take less time to reach targets, compared with intercontinental ballistic missiles, leaving no time for decision-makers and raising the likelihood of a global nuclear conflict over a false launch warning. Russia's missile forces chief has declared that the new Oreshnik intermediate-range missile, which Russia first used against Ukraine in November, has a range to reach all of Europe. Oreshnik can carry conventional or nuclear warheads. Mr Putin has praised the Oreshnik's capabilities, saying its multiple warheads that plunge to a target at speeds up to Mach 10 are immune to being intercepted and are so powerful that the use of several of them in one conventional strike could be as devastating as a nuclear attack. Mr Putin has warned the West that Moscow could use it against Ukraine's Nato allies who allowed Kyiv to use their longer-range missiles to strike inside Russia.

Nato to deliver more military aid to Ukraine after Dutch minister announces deal
Nato has started coordinating regular deliveries of large weapons packages to Ukraine after the Netherlands said it would provide air defence equipment, ammunition and other military aid worth 500 million euros (£434m). The equipment that will be provided is based on Ukraine's priority needs on the battlefield. Nato allies then locate the weapons and ammunition and send them on. 'Packages will be prepared rapidly and issued on a regular basis,' a Nato spokesperson said. Air defence systems are in greatest need, as the United Nations said that Russia's relentless pounding of urban areas behind the front line has killed more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians. American air defence systems and munitions, in particular, are crucial for Ukraine to defend itself Russia's bigger army is also making slow but costly progress along the 620-mile front line. Currently, it is waging an operation to take the eastern city of Pokrovsk, a logistical hub whose fall could allow it to drive deeper into Ukraine. European allies and Canada are buying most of the equipment which they plan to send from the United States, which has greater stocks of military material, as well as more effective weapons. The Trump administration is not giving any arms to Ukraine. The new deliveries will come on top of other pledges of military equipment. The Kiel Institute, which tracks support to Ukraine, estimates that as of June, European countries had provided 72 billion euros (£63bn) worth of military aid since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, compared to 65 billion dollars (£49bn) in US aid. Dutch defence minister Ruben Brekelmans said that 'American air defence systems and munitions, in particular, are crucial for Ukraine to defend itself'. Announcing the deliveries on Monday, he said Russia's attacks are 'pure terror, intended to break Ukraine'. Germany said on Friday that it will deliver two more Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine in the coming days. It agreed to the move after securing assurances that the US will prioritise the delivery of new Patriots to Germany to backfill its stocks. These weapon systems are only made in the US.

Khabib Nurmagomedov makes Conor McGregor comeback claim but ‘he has to change the way how he's living'
McGregor has not fought since 2021, when he suffered a broken leg in a second straight loss to Dustin Poirier, and the former champion's past triumphs have been overshadowed by legal battles in recent years. Last week, McGregor lost an appeal against the verdict of a civil rape case, in which a woman won a claim against him in November. The Dubliner, 37, continues to deny the accusations against him. McGregor has also expressed a desire to run for the presidency in Ireland, with many of his recent social-media posts proving divisive as he has explained his stance on immigration and other issues. Yet Nurmagomedov, who retired unbeaten as the UFC lightweight champion in 2020, has said there is a way for McGregor to emerge from what has appeared to be a chaotic period in his life and career. The Russian, who submitted McGregor in their 2018 title fight to end one of the bitterest rivalries in UFC history, discussed the matter at Tilles Center in New York on Sunday (August 3). 'I don't want to mention his name,' Nurmagomedov said. 'This is punishment, this is punishment. And he keeps doing this, keeps doing this, keeps doing this. Everything that happened.' Nurmagomedov elsewhere mentioned a 2019 incident in which the Crumlin-born fighter pleaded guilty to assault after punching a man in a bar. 'But the most beautiful part of this,' Nurmagomedov, 36, continued, '[is] Allah always gives for us – it doesn't matter, anybody, everybody – a chance to come back. Always, in this world, a chance to come back. 'This is the most beautiful thing. It doesn't matter how you're bad, Allah is going to give you a chance to always come back. I think he has a chance, and he has to change the way how he's living. 'Why am I talking about this? [...] If he's going to change, he can change with him so many lives, too. And that's why I wish him to change himself.' The Independent approached McGregor's representatives for comment on Nurmagomedov's interview. In the build-up to their 2018 fight, McGregor threw a dolly at the window of a bus in which Nurmagomedov and other UFC athletes were sitting. He was charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief, then was further charged with menacing and reckless endangerment at his arraignment. McGregor pleaded no contest to a count of disorderly conduct and was ordered to perform five days of community service and attend anger management classes. The former two-weight champion recently re-entered the UFC's drug-testing pool, as he targets a return to the mixed martial arts promotion. He has expressed an interest in competing on a potential fight card at the White House, an event mentioned by US president Donald Trump in recent weeks. Trump, who attends UFC events semi-regularly, is a friend of UFC president Dana White.
