Event Summary

Chinese President Xi Jinping will make an official visit to Russia from May 7-10 to participate in celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany. During the visit, Xi Jinping will discuss the development of the strategic partnership between China and Russia with Russian President Vladimir Putin and sign a number of documents. Other national leaders, including the presidents of Brazil and Serbia, and the prime minister of Slovakia, are also expected to attend the celebrations.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy also expressed concerns about the safety of foreign dignitaries attending the Moscow parade due to the ongoing war with Russia.
