The program is planned for May 9 and the highlight would be a military parade in the Red Square that would be overseen by President Putin. It is actually an annual event but it will be expanded this year to include 15,000 troops, cadets and Cossacks. This has been revealed by Russia's defense minister.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is one of the leaders who plans to stay away from the parade, but she will be visiting Moscow the next day for a separate ceremony with Putin.
