Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided not to attend the Victory Day celebrations in Moscow, slated for May 9, as announced by a Kremlin spokesperson.
While the official reason for Modi’s absence remains unclear, reports suggest that security concerns following the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam may have influenced the decision.
Victory Day in Russia commemorates the Allied victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, marking its 80th anniversary this year.
Several global leaders, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, are expected to attend the grand event in Moscow, which holds historical and political significance.
