Russia invites PM Modi to attend 80th Victory Day Parade on May 9

Russia has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the May 9 Victory Day celebrations, which mark the 80th anniversary of Soviet Russia's victory over Germany in World War II, Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko said. Moscow is expecting the Indian Prime Minister at the May 9 parade. The invitation has already been sent, and the visit is being worked out, Russian news agency TASS quotes Rudenko as saying.

On PM Modi's upcoming visit, Rudenko said, "It's being worked out; it should be this year. He has an invitation." 

Russia has sent invitations to leaders of several friendly nations to attend this year’s Victory Day parade.

During the Second World War in January 1945, the Soviet Army launched an offensive against Germany, which ended in the victory of the Red Army. Following this, the commanders-in-chief on May 9 signed the Act of Unconditional Surrender of Germany, which ended the war.
