Russian President Vladimir Putin has been compelled to cancel the Victory Day parade in Crimea following a Ukrainian sea drone strike that destroyed a high-value Russian fighter jet. The cancellation, which affects the city of Sevastopol, raises serious concerns about Russia's ability to secure even its most important occupied territories. Reports suggest Putin sought a temporary ceasefire to ensure the parade's safety, but Ukraine refused. The incident is seen as a significant embarrassment for the Kremlin, undermining its image of military strength. The move highlights ongoing security challenges for Russia amid the ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
