US State Department spokesman Marie Harf said that a flypast will be held in Washington on May 8 to mark the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Second World War.
"There are a variety of ways I think people across the world will honor Victory in Europe Day. On May 8th in Washington, there will be a flyover to mark the occasion here in Washington. I think some European capitals will also be marking that day," RIA Novosti cited her.
Harf confirmed that at the military parade in Moscow on May 9th, the US will be represented by Ambassador Tefft.
"We certainly honor the sacrifice of those who fought against the Nazis in World War II, including millions of Russians who were sacrificed as well," Harf said. In this regard, she reminded that "US President Barack Obama and other heads of state met in Normandy last year to commemorate World War II."
