In the past three years, the celebrations have been more steamed, but this time Russia is showing itself from its generous side. Among the high -ranking guests who should take part in the move are the Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Brazil's Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, which is a clear upgrade compared to the past guest list, which was limited to delegations of Postsovjetian states, Cuba and a few other countries.

Last month, Putin had explained a three -day one -sided ceasefire around the anniversary - an announcement that was rejected by Ukraine immediately. "The proposal of the Kremlin for a three -day ceasefire does not aim at peace, but to ensure the safe expiry of the move in Moscow. This is political manipulation," said Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian Presidential Office.

Ukraine’s attitude to the ceasefire

The Ukrainian government said that if Russia was truly interested in a ceasefire, the US proposal should agree to a 30-day ceasefire, which Ukraine has already agreed. Russia has repeatedly rejected this offer despite several high-ranking meetings with US officials.

Ukrainian measures before moving

Ukraine is openly indifferent to the smooth expiry of Putin's move and explains that "it cannot be responsible for what happens in the field of the Russian Federation" due to the war. President Wolodymyr Selenskyj emphasized that his country would "not play games" to create a pleasant atmosphere for Putin's exit from the isolation on May 9th.

In the days before the move, Ukraine started several drone attacks on the Russian capital, which meant that all four airports had to be closed on Wednesday. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania also caused logistical complications for international parade visitors by closing their airspace for diplomatic aircraft that flew to Moscow. Several Pro-Kremlin leaders were forced to redirect their trips to Moscow to escape the Baltic States.

"In Latvian society there is a clear and fundamental understanding that Russian propaganda and the glorification of war crimes cannot be supported or promoted ... Against this background, Latvia cannot grant diplomatic overflow permits for flights that facilitate participation in the event on May 9," explained the Latvian Foreign Ministry on Thursday.

The Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, one of the leaders affected by the closures, criticized this step and described him as "extremely annoying" on Wednesday. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić was also forced to redirect his route after the Baltic States had notified that he should not enter their airspace. According to Serbian media, he finally landed via Baku in Azerbaijan.
