Russia has canceled the St. Petersburg naval parade for the second year in a row, with officials citing that 'now is not the time' for such an event.

Roskomnadzor told the St. Petersburg-based news outlet Fontanka that a fault on Rostelecom’s backbone network caused the widespread disruption to bank websites and apps, telecom operators, and other services in Russia on the evening of April 6.

Russian media, including St. Petersburg newspaper Fontanka, extensively reported on Russian tourists stranded at Helsinki-Vantaa airport, covering both their initial dissatisfaction and later gratitude.
