On May 9, Victory Day, foreign colleagues will not come to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Russian Federation did not even invite a close “comrade-in-arms” of Alexander Lukashenko.
Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that this holiday is only “for the whole of Russia”, so Putin will celebrate it in private.
The Russian propaganda publication RIA Novosti writes about this.
“We did not invite any foreign leaders to Victory Day. The fact is that this is not an anniversary date. This is our holiday, this is a holy holiday for all of Russia, for all Russians. But we did not invite foreign leaders,” Peskov said.
According to him, even the self-proclaimed president of “fraternal” Belarus Alexander Lukashenko does not plan to come to Russia on May 9.
In addition, the Russian Defense Ministry noted that 11,000 servicemen, 131 weapons, military and special equipment, as well as 77 aircraft and helicopters will take part in the parade in honor of the 77th anniversary of the Victory in World War II.
Recall that the leader of the self-proclaimed “DRN” Denis Pushilin canceled the May 9 Victory Parade . The reason for this decision of the terrorist was the “threat of shelling.”
