Russian navy parade: Kremlin cancels annual event; cites security reasons

AP photo Russia has cancelled its major annual navy parade scheduled for Sunday, citing "security reasons," according to the Kremlin, though it did not elaborate on the specific threat or concern, reported news agency AFP. "The decision is linked to the overall situation. Security reasons are of utmost importance," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov said. The move has raised questions about internal vulnerabilities, particularly as Ukraine has increased strikes on Russian naval assets since Moscow's full-scale invasion in 2022. Russia's annual Navy Day parade is a grand military celebration held on the last Sunday of July to honor the strength and heritage of the Russian Navy. Traditionally staged in the port city of St. Petersburg, the event features a spectacular display of naval power, including warships, submarines, aircraft, and thousands of naval personnel. It commemorates Navy Day, a legacy dating back to the Soviet era, reintroduced with renewed vigor by President Vladimir Putin in the early 2000s. The parade typically draws high-ranking officials, military leadership, and occasionally foreign dignitaries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like District Of Columbia: Costco Shoppers Are Using This Loophole To Afford Luxury Massage Chairs Relaxe Learn More Undo President Putin often attends, using the occasion to project Russia's maritime strength and geopolitical presence. The event also includes performances, ceremonial salutes, and maritime flyovers. It is not only a patriotic showcase for domestic audiences but also a message of deterrence and prestige on the global stage. In recent years, the parade has gained greater symbolic importance amid rising tensions with the West and increased naval engagements in regions like the Black Sea and Arctic. The Russia-Ukraine war began in 2014 with Crimea's annexation and escalated into a full-scale invasion in February 2022. Russia aimed to topple Ukraine's government, but Ukrainian resistance, backed by Western military and financial aid, stalled its advance. The war has caused massive casualties, global disruptions, and remains unresolved, with ongoing fighting and geopolitical tensions.

Russia and Ukraine to Renew Talks, but Peace Remains Elusive

Russian and Ukrainian officials are expected to meet in Istanbul on Wednesday, ostensibly for the latest round of talks aimed at ending their war, according to Turkish and Ukrainian officials. Both Ukraine and Russia have downplayed expectations for the meeting, which would be the third time their representatives have met since the Trump administration persuaded the warring nations to sit down together in May. 'There is no basis to expect any magical breakthroughs,' the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, told reporters on Tuesday. 'This is highly unlikely in the current situation.' President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said on Monday that his chief negotiator and head of the National Security and Defense Council, Rustem Umerov, would meet the Russians on Wednesday. The government of Turkey, the host of the talks, confirmed that timing. Russia has offered fewer details. Mr. Peskov said the meeting was expected to take place this week, without disclosing the dates or the names of its representatives. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
