Over 65,000 people will take part in them and about 2,400 armament and material units will be presented, Russia news agency. The largest parade is held in Moscow and is expected to be presided over by President Vladimir Putin.
"We can count that Putin and imperialistic Russia will do everything bad they can possibly try to do. The question is, are we all prepared — the civilized world — to do everything possible to defend our democracy and freedom," she said. U.S. first lady Jill Biden made an unannounced visit to western Ukraine, holding a surprise Mother's Day meeting with the nation's first lady, Olena Zelenskyy, as Russia presses its punishing war in the eastern regions.
