Kyiv will for sure be present at the parade with drones, but i wouldn't be surprised if they sent chocolate and usb-sticks with information what is really happening at the front instead of explosives.
Bombing civilians has historically galvanised resistance rather than undermining the enemy. The supply deliveries by air and candy drops during the Berlin Blockade did way more for sympathy and morale. Give them chocolate and information and you'll achieve more than by confirming you're the cruel enemy they've been told you are.
Or just a flyer that reads something along the lines of: "If these were bombs, Putin would have failed you. Thankfully, we are more civilised than that"
This would be the best approach. Just let thousands of USB sticks parachute down below into the hands of average Russians.
