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.
A more salient point is that Russia was one of the fucking instigators of WW2 and only ended on the winning side through political expedience.
It was Britain and France who enabled Hitler and who ignored Polish warnings.
Yes, but they didn’t invade Poland together with hitler. Slight difference there.
