Video. Russians rehearse for Moscow's annual victory parade

Updated:

Russians remember World War II each year with a victory parade on May 9th. Although events have been called off in some cities near the Ukraine border, soldiers have been rehearsing for the event in Moscow.

While authorities in several border regions said they would forgo Victory Day parades, the city of Moscow is still preparing to hold the annual display of military might in Moscow's Red Square over a year after Russian President Putin sent Russian troops to Ukraine.

The annual event takes place on May 9th.
