Russia Invited to D-Day Anniversary, Putin Excluded

In light of ongoing tensions over Ukraine, Russia will participate in the D-Day 80th anniversary without President Putin.

Russia, not President Putin, will attend the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in France.
The decision reflects ongoing concerns over Russia's actions in Ukraine.
World leaders, including US President Joe Biden, are expected to attend the June 6 ceremony.
Previous controversies surrounded Putin's attendance at past D-Day commemorations.
The Kremlin has not yet responded to the exclusion announcement.
