Russia will celebrate the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War in a big way

On May 3, Serbia confirmed that President Aleksandar Vucic would keep his promise and attend the Victory Day Parade in Moscow, despite the fact that he briefly felt unwell and went to the doctors. The Serbian president himself announced on May 1 that he intends to visit Moscow on May 9 and take part in Victory Day celebrations, despite pressure from the European Union (EU).

The country's main Victory anniversary parade will traditionally take place on Red Square in Moscow. It will be attended by a number of foreign leaders, including Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Brazilian President Lula da Silva.

As Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted on April 30, the high-level representation of many countries at the Victory Day Parade in Moscow indicates that they share the importance of the May 9 holiday. In his opinion, Russia has not just allies, but states that are close in spirit and ideology.
