Russia is celebrating its victory days, victory over the Nazi's in WW2. Leaders from nations from around the world are in Moscow. From China and India to South America to the European countries, and all over the world, they have come to Moscow to celebrate with Russia.
Russia has stepped up its security so that Zelensky drones won't have any effect on Moscow.
Note that Trump didn't go to Moscow. Neither did Zelensky. Seems like Trump is extending the mission of the US, to continue to use Ukraine in its proxy war against Russia... just to steal Russian lands that have far more minerals than the US could ever get in some backwards deal with Ukraine.
Note that in some other post I suggested looking at the Military Summary Chanel on Youtube. I would like to qualify that a little. Some of the videos that Dima uses are videos of models. You can see by the kinds of explosions that are done in some of those videos, that they are not real, but are simply models with model explosions. The question is, what is really going on in the battles along the edge of the Black Sea Corridor and Ukraine?
We'll see.

As usual, quite a bit of bias, but whatever. There are many channels that will report quite accurately, others are Ruzzian bias, Ukranian, etc...
But there is little doubt about what is happening in the frontlines (in general lines) and, what is equally important, what is happening behind the frontlines. Ukraine is perfectly able to strike anything within 1500 km. The Black Sea should be renamed the Ukranian sea, just like the Gulf of Mexico.

That was close, they almost sent the janitor. After what is happening with Pakistan (namely Pakistan using terror attacks) and the position of China in the matter, I would be very surprised if Naendra would risk passing by Xi in the hallway.
The fact is that your information about attendance is not incorrect this time. There are quite a few attending, but still a minority. In fact some of the ones I would expect to send someone are not there.

I guess Fico is melancholic about the old USSR days, where he could arrest people so easily...
