Sevastopol, Crimea: Russia's Black Sea fleet on Thursday off-Crimea rehearsed a maritime military parade for Victory Day.
Russian landing ships, frigates and corvettes rehearsed in Sevastopol's bay, where the maritime parade will be held for the first time since 2015.
This year's military parade will only include an aviation and navy demonstration due to coronavirus outbreak.
Russian President Vladimir Putin last month ordered the postponement of a lavish celebration marking the 75th anniversary of Victory Day that has previously topped the Kremlin's political agenda.
