Russia is afraid to show its fleet Break the Fake TVP WORLD



Russia’s main naval parade in St. Petersburg, once one of the Kremlin’s most important military showcases, has reportedly been canceled for a second consecutive year.

Join Benjamin Lee in the new episode of Break The Fake to find out how the image of Russia as a major naval power has changed since the start of the full-scale war against Ukraine.
