Fireworks over Moscow as Russia scales back Victory Day celebrations amid COVID-19

Description

Fireworks are seen over Moscow at night to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, amid the coronavirus outbreak. With cases surging and authorities urging Russians to stay in their homes, celebrations of this year's Victory Day were muted after the Kremlin grudgingly postponed plans for a grand parade with world leaders.
