From dawn, volunteers distributed the Victory Ribbon, a sky-blue silk strip symbolising courage and remembrance. Measuring 30cm in length and 3cm in width, the ribbon is adorned with Kazakhstan’s golden national emblem at the centre, serving as a tribute to the bravery of those who fought in the Great Patriotic War and a legacy of memory for future generations.
More than 4,000 personnel from the Kazakh Ministry of Defence, National Guard, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and Border Service joined the parade, accompanied by over 200 pieces of military equipment and 66 aircraft flyovers. Each formation consisted of 156 troops, followed by a 300-member military band that closed the parade in full ceremonial display.
Following the parade was a concert featuring top Kazakhstani artists and troupes.
