Guest of honor
Putin will speak to the “biggest” annual parade of the victory day in Moscow on Friday for the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany during the Second World War to rally support for his troops which are fighting in Ukraine.
XI must be the guest of honor of the May 9 parade among 29 other foreign leaders, three of whom come from unrecognized or partially recognized states.
Putin ordered a three-day ceasefire on Ukraine's front lines to coincide with the celebrations.
Kyiv rejected the gesture as an attempt by Moscow to guarantee the security of the parade and called for a one month's ceasefire instead.
Ukraine – who struck Moscow with drones a few days before the parade – said that she could not take responsibility for what's going on in Russia.
Some countries had approached Kyiv to request the security of their leaders attending the parade, he added.
China sent 102 soldiers – the largest foreign military contingent among the 13 participating countries – for the event.
Ukraine warned Tuesday against any foreign troop participating in the parade, the appellant “unacceptable” and helping Moscow to “whiten his war crimes”.
