Russia has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the Victory Day celebrations on May 9, marking the 80th anniversary of Germany’s defeat in World War II.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko confirmed that the invitation has been sent, and the visit is being worked out. Russia has invited leaders of several friendly nations to join this year’s event.
Victory Day commemorates the signing of the Act of Unconditional Surrender of Germany on May 9, 1945, which officially ended World War II in Europe.
PM Modi last visited Russia in July 2024, his first visit in nearly five years. During that trip, he had invited President Vladimir Putin to visit India. Putin has accepted the invitation, but the dates of his visit are yet to be announced.
Modi and Putin maintain regular contact, both over the phone and in-person during international events.
