MOSCOW - Russian security services are working to ensure that Moscow’s annual Victory Day parade across Red Square on May 9 can go ahead safely, despite the risk of a threat from Ukraine, the Kremlin said on Tuesday.

All our special services are doing everything possible to ensure security,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Mr Putin, his defence minister and other senior officials usually review the parade – which has in the past included tanks, intercontinental missile launchers and marching troops, as well as a flyover.
