MOSCOW CELEBRATES MAY 9 WITHOUT TANKS OR PLANES: PUTIN'S REDUCED PARADE REVEALS A RUSSIA AT WAR
United Kingdom: fear behind the spectacle — Putin paranoid over an amputated parade
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
United Kingdom: British coverage is among the most analytical. The Independent publishes two complementary angles: one on the reduced parade as 'a sign of Putin's paranoia,' the other on Putin's promise of victory in Ukraine 'despite Ukrainian territorial gains.' The BBC emphasizes that Putin denounced NATO in a speech at Red Square during a deliberately scaled-down parade. Sky News highlights the contradiction between the triumphalist tone of the speech and the reality of a parade without heavy equipment. The United Kingdom, which supplies weapons to Ukraine and is directly cited in Putin's speech as part of the 'aggressive coalition,' reads this event as further proof that Russia seeks to mask its real difficulties.
