Tensions Rise Ahead of Victory Day in Russia
As May 9 approaches a symbolic date marking Russia’s WWII victory tensions are escalating. Russia reported intercepting several drones allegedly launched by Ukraine, including over Moscow. These incidents come just days before the Victory Day parade, expected to be attended by the President of China.
These drone strikes highlight the intensifying shadow war between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides using technology to send strong messages. While Moscow downplays the impact, experts suggest the psychological effect is significant bringing the war closer to the Kremlin.
With major powers watching closely, the coming days may define the future tone of the conflict.
