Germany: Moscow celebrates under ceasefire cover — a parade as normalcy theatre in abnormal times
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Germany: Tagesschau, Germany's primary news source, headlined 'Putin feiert Siegesparade in Moskau im Schutz von Waffenruhe' — Putin celebrates the Victory Day parade in Moscow under the protection of the ceasefire. The angle is deliberate synchronisation: the Trump-brokered truce coincided exactly with May 9, allowing Moscow to hold its parade without immediate risk of a Ukrainian strike. Deutsche Welle explained in detail why parades are smaller across Russia this year: the war absorbs material and human resources, and displaying military equipment creates a real security risk. Berlin, which has long hesitated over Taurus missile deliveries and carries the historical weight of WWII vis-à-vis Russia, observes the parade with cold analytical distance.
