Russia not invited to D-Day 80th anniversary, diplomats say

8 comments

1. From this article:

   >Organisers had said in April that President Vladimir Putin would not be invited to the events in France, but that some Russian representatives would be welcome in recognition of the country’s war-time sacrifice.

   >But the sources said no Russian officials at all will now be invited to the commemorations that will be attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and U.S. President Joe Biden.

   From the other article posted:

   >Representatives of Russia – but not President Vladimir Putin – have been invited to attend the D-Day celebrations to “honor the importance of the commitment and sacrifices of the Soviet people,” organizers said.

   So, some clarification is in order.

2. Lest we forget.

   Moscow started WW2 as Hitler’s Ally.

   Here is their joint Parade with the Nazis after splitting Poland in 1939.

3. I guess they will have to send the thanks for (re-)opening a western front by mail this time.

4. The West should invite russia for starting WW2.

5. Have they thanked the west for the aid they got in ww2 even once?
