As the gauleiter noted, the reason is the "threat from Ukrainian drones."
"In order to ensure security, mass festive events on May 9 in the Zaporizhzhia region will be restricted. We will not hold a victory parade or the mass 'Immortal Regiment' march,"
Instead, he suggested that residents of the occupied part of the region lay flowers at graves and congratulate veterans.
"Even under conditions of temporary restrictions, nothing will prevent us from celebrating Victory Day - the main holiday of our lives,"
