France announced the need for the republic's presence at the Victory Day Parade in Moscow

Representatives of France had to attend the parade on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War in Moscow. This was stated on May 9 by the leader of the party "Get up. France" by Nicolas Dupont-Aignan.

"Today, France's place is in Moscow. Out of historical honesty and respect for all victims of Nazi barbarism, May 8 and 9 should have been celebrated together by all allies — the French, Russians, Americans and British — both in Paris and in Moscow," he wrote on the social network X.

At the same time, the politician complained that Paris was making one of the major geopolitical mistakes by allowing Russia to move closer to China.
