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.

    How much of a shitshow would it cause if France granted diplomatic immunity, and then the US carried out a special drone delivery operation?

    why using a drone? Take him to the Eifel tower, I mean it does not have windows but it gets the job done.
