At precisely 9a.m. on April 26 (Moscow time), the Vietnamese troops started their training session with warm-up exercises. The morning training schedule, from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m., corresponds to the time frame of the upcoming parade on Red Square.

Delegations from China, Laos, and Myanmar also trained for the event, creating a lively and energetic atmosphere. Each time another country's formation marched past, the Vietnamese officers and cadets spontaneously clapped in support, showcasing a beautiful image of international solidarity.

Since the weather in Moscow is harsh, head of the Vietnamese delegation Major General Nguyen Van Thanh said that healthcare for participating troops have been paid special attention to. General Thanh noted that alongside the intense training schedule, Vietnamese troops need time to adapt to the time zone difference, the harsh climate, and the unfamiliar diet. The participating troops have been supplemented with two additional hot meals daily, consisting of traditional Vietnamese foods such as meat floss, salty sesame peanut, and canned meat, ensuring their calorie intake meets the necessary standards.

Additionally, military medical staff accompanying the delegation closely monitor the troops' health during training, providing timely care for minor injuries and common illnesses, ensuring that 100% of the personnel remain healthy for duty.
