Kremlin: no foreign leader invited to Victory Day festivities in Moscow this year

No foreign leader has been invited to attend Victory Day festivities in Moscow this year, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday.

"We haven’t invited any foreign leaders to attend Victory Day festivities. The thing is, this will not be a jubilee day. This is our holiday, a sacred day for Russia and all the Russian people. We haven’t invited any foreign leaders," the Kremlin spokesman said.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is not expected to attend either, Peskov said. "As far as I know, he is not planning" to attend, Peskov said when asked for comment.
