Moscow, July 27 /Xinhua/ — The cancellation of the main naval parade in St. Petersburg on Russian Navy Day is due to the general situation and security considerations, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.
"This is related to the general situation, security considerations. They are above all else," TASS quotes him as saying.
The events were scheduled for July 27 — Navy Day is celebrated in Russia annually on the last Sunday of July. Since 2017, by decree of President Vladimir Putin, the main naval parade has been held in St. Petersburg. Last year, 20 surface ships and boats, one submarine, four sailing vessels and more than 2,500 military personnel took part in it.
As reported by the Kremlin press service, Russian President V. Putin congratulated sailors on Navy Day on Sunday.
"The naval component of Russia's nuclear triad is also gaining strength," said V. Putin in a video address on the occasion of Navy Day. He noted that the naval component of the Russian nuclear triad is based on a group of nuclear submarines.
“This year, a new strategy for the development of the Russian Navy was approved. For the first time in history, it is designed for a long period – until 2050. And this is direct evidence of our confidence in our strength and capabilities,” noted V. Putin. –0–
