The Kremlin explained why Zelensky was not invited to Moscow for the Victory Parade
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky did not receive an invitation to the Victory Parade on June 24 in Moscow. As the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, explained, this was due to the fact that Ukraine has never demonstrated a desire to share the joy of the holiday.
According to Peskov, official invitations to the Victory Parade were sent to all heads of state of the CIS, as well as to leaders of other countries. An invitation was not sent to the Ukrainian leader, since de facto Ukraine is not a member of the CIS, and the country itself has never expressed a desire to share the holiday atmosphere with the rest.

At the same time, the leaders of many countries themselves expressed their desire to visit the Victory Parade in Moscow and will arrive at the celebrations.
