Ukrainian air defenses have shot down 35 Iranian-made drones over Kyiv in Russia’s latest nighttime assault.
At least 21 Russian cities canceled May 9 military parades — the staple of Victory Day celebrations across Russia — for the first time in years, Russian media said.
Media and local officials have blamed other sporadic drone attacks, especially targeting oil depots near the two countries’ border, on the Ukrainian military. Kyiv officials decline to comment on such claims. Initially, only one foreign leader was expected to attend this year’s Moscow parade — Kyrgyzstan President Sadyr Zhaparov, who arrived Monday and met Putin for talks. That was one more foreign guest than last year, when no leaders went amid Russian President Vladimir Putin’s broad diplomatic isolation over the war. The Kremlin at the time said it hadn't invited any because it wasn't a “round-number anniversary.
Tokayev also told Putin last summer that Kazakhstan will not recognize the Russian-occupied Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states. The European Union’s Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is due to travel to Kyiv on Tuesday to mark Europe Day together with Zelenskyy.

War shadows Victory Day, Russia's integral holidayVictory Day is Russia’s most important secular holiday, and it lauds two tenets that are central to the country’s identity: military might and moral rectitude. But the war in Ukraine undermines both this year. Many regions have canceled their observances of the 78th anniversary of Nazi Germany's capitulation in World War II because of concerns the events could be targets for Ukrainian attacks. However, Moscow’s Red Square military parade will go ahead on Tuesday despite Russia’s claim of an attempted Ukrainian drone attack on the Kremlin. For all the fearsome armaments that will be on display, Russia’s failure to make gains in Ukraine has undermined the image of its army’s indomitability.
