Details: The intelligence describes Russia's Navy Day as "an annual display of Russian maritime power." 

The main event of this celebration takes place in Saint Petersburg along the Neva River up to the Kronstadt Naval Base, the review reads.

This year, however, the Kronstadt component of the parade, which was scheduled for 28 July, was cancelled due to security reasons, the intelligence added.

Quote: "This is not the first time that events have been cancelled since Russia invaded Ukraine. However, it is the most high profile event to be cancelled and highlights a growing trend that Russia is unable to guarantee the protection of its forces," the review reads.
