One may ask what's the bigger loss of face ?
1) The miniscule parade without military hardware (not even the Armata paper tigers)
2) Zelensky's Social Media post giving Putin the permission to hold his parade?

My vote goes for the second option.

I am divided. On one hand it is a loss of face. On the other side it is a clear message to the world that Ukraine wants peace and/or it is a message to many Ukrainian military personnel that they can have a few days R&R. Given their desperate need to have some down time that benefit of Zelensky's decree has a lot of value to Ukraine.

There is also the fact that Zelensky's permission for Russia to hold the parade will have angered a lot of Russians.

You have to admire the skill and ability of Ukraine to identify, develop, build and introduce into service items such as this. I find it seriously impressive.

The more I think on this I think it was a message to Washington and Moscow that Ukraine has the ability to control much of what happens inside of Russia these days.

Unfortunately I do not think that either administration will ever admit that this is true.

But this same administration objects to Ukraine attacking Russian oil.

So whose side are they on?
