• The "Z" formation was seen on TV showing preparation for the May 9 parade.

• The Kremlin announced the Victory Day aerial display was called off due to bad weather.

The World War II connection is significant, as Putin has claimed falsely that Ukraine is controlled by Nazis as a way to justify the war. A dress rehearsal was held Saturday in Moscow for the military parade to commemorate Victory Day.

A VPN is a program you run on your computer. it sets up a tunnel over the internet to another place. Folks use these to connect and go to web servers there. VPNs can also connect you to the internet in another place.
