As the Russia-Ukraine war continues, this year's Victory Day celebrations will showcase a different political struggle.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is organizing events to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany. Leaders from countries like China, India, Brazil, and Israel have been invited to these events.

However, the EU has warned European leaders not to attend these celebrations. EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas emphasized that participation in Moscow's events should not be taken lightly.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that they will hold a unity demonstration in Kyiv on the same day. This situation further escalates the political tension between the two countries.
