KYIV, Ukraine—Russia enacted a major security clampdown before Tuesday’s annual commemorations marking the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, curbing the use of drones and ride-sharing services in its largest cities—even jet skis on the canals of St. Petersburg—amid its 14-month war with Ukraine.
At least 21 Russian cities canceled May 9 military parades—the staple of Victory Day celebrations across Russia—for the first time in years, Russian media said.
