Russia taking 'all necessary measures' to ensure Victory Day parade is safe

MOSCOW, May 7, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Russia was taking "all necessary measures", including restricting mobile internet access, to ensure its flagship Victory Day parade is safe, the Kremlin said Wednesday, after Ukrainian drone attacks disrupted hundreds of flights. 

"Our military and special services are taking all necessary measures to ensure that the celebration of the Great Victory takes place in a calm, stable and peaceful atmosphere," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, calling internet restrictions "necessary" due to Russia's "dangerous neighbourhood," a reference to Ukraine.
