Russians decide to do without Victory Day celebrations in occupied territories

Details: The resistance said the Russian occupation authorities had made this decision likely due to fear of "provocations".

Quote: "Actually, the celebration in the TOTs would not take place without the extras. And after the inauguration of international criminal Vladimir Putin and further plans for mobilisation, it would risk turning into protests. So it [the celebration] has been abandoned.

This clearly reflects the real level of support for the invaders in the TOTs."

Background: Russia has decided to cancel the traditional Immortal Regiment propaganda march in 2024, usually held on Victory Day.
