I think a large part of it is Zelenskyy knows what he doesn't know.
He's never served in the military, he was an entertainer and then a public servant. I don't think there are any pretensions about him having grand command authority, a la certain little colonels. Although he certainly knows the value of optics (and that can also be a negative when it comes to military matters [Bakhmut could have been disasterous, for instance]).
Compared to Putin, I think he's more willing to listen and trust his military staff, and I also think he's more prepared to listen to bad news. The latter is probably more important, as it allows tough decisions to be made early on.
Three T-34s? This begs the question, where in the Donbas are the others?Most striking was the sight of a solitary tank, and that was a museum piece T-34 dating back to the Second World War. Eagle-eyed viewers could see another two parked off the main square

I've seen pictures showing the two T-34s parked in the back. Most probably this was done to realistically reflect current Russian doctrine. Out of every 3 tanks:Most striking was the sight of a solitary tank, and that was a museum piece T-34 dating back to the Second World War. Eagle-eyed viewers could see another two parked off the main square, presumably as spares in case of a breakdown.
At least, that one is moving on his own powerSeems like the May 9th celebration in Moscow is a little muted.

Interesting snippet from the BBC:
And now, Prigozhin has accused a Russian military unit of fleeing Bakhmut today. "One of the defence ministry units fled and exposed us to the front almost 2km away, but we managed to block it, thank God," he wrote on Telegram.
There are no further details but units don't just flee unless they're being pressured. Is something happening around Bakhmut, perhaps?
Less a parade and more like a drive-by.
