Separately, President Volodymyr Zelensky would like to accept the coalition leaders on May 9 who want to “determine security guarantees” for Ukraine after an agreement has been made to cease fire with Russia, Sibiga added.
Although he did not specify where this meeting will take place, a possible visit to Ukraine in early May, including the future Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz, was discussed, two EU diplomats reported on the conditions of anonymity.
The Russian leader has invited the leaders of Israel, China, Brazil, Slovakia and Serbia to join it in Moscow at the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Second World War, the Russian media reported. He did not invite the United States and most EU Member States.
Prehistory:
- Former US President George Bush and then French President Jacques Shirak were attended by a military parade at Red Square in Moscow in 2005, but in recent years none of Western leaders was present at the celebration.
- The European Union gave a clear instruction to the EU -made candidates, not to attend a parade in Moscow on May 9 and not to visit Russia.
- We will remind, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo stated that he considers his “personal obligation” to go to Moscow on May 9, 2025, and claims that his decision is understood at home.
