This is not the first time Fitzo has pointed to the USSR's decisive contribution to the victory over fascism. Thus, on November 30, he posted a post with a similar statement in social networks. Before that, on November 27, he accepted an official invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the Victory Day celebrations.

Back in late October, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow intends to invite world leaders in addition to the heads of CIS countries to the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in World War II in 2025. He noted that everyone who wants to come to the celebration will be welcome in the capital.

In 2025, May 9 marks 80 years since the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. In January 1945, the USSR army launched an offensive on Berlin. As a result of the fighting at 00:43 Moscow time on May 9, the commanders-in-chief signed an act of unconditional surrender of Germany, which served as the end of the Great Patriotic War.
