Zelensky cancels Independence Day military parade in Ukrain

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that he will cancel the country’s tradition of holding a military parade on Independence Day on August 24. Instead, the money will be spent on bonuses to Ukrainian soldiers.
In a July 9 video message published on social media, Zelensky termed the traditional parade “grandiose and clearly not inexpensive.”
“It seems to me that, this year, instead of a parade it’s better to allocate that money for our heroes,” he said.
