France says Russia can be represented but president will not be invited because of war in Ukraine
Russia will be invited to send representatives to an international ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-day – but not Vladimir Putin, the French organisers have announced.
The Élysée is reported to have accepted that the country should be represented but said its leader is not welcome because of Moscow’s ongoing war on Ukraine.
“In view of the circumstances, President Putin will not be invited to take part in the commemorations of the Normandy landings,” the Liberation Mission organising committee said.
Yep. I imagine most nations on the Eastern Front see D-Day as “A group of Allies poked head through backyard doggy door and said, “Oi!” Day.”
Hollllllllly… I knew about the atrocities in China… But I didn’t understand the scale…
The soviets owe their existence to the United States.
The Allies owe their WW2 victory to the Russians
Soviets* ;)
The Russians owe their WW2 victory myth to Ukraine.
Not at all. Moscow falls without American trucks, trains, airplanes, boots, clothes.
