France will invite representatives of the Russian authorities to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy on June 6, which opened a new front in World War II. This was reported by Europe 1, without citing sources.

The French radio station claims that Russia will be represented in Normandy in early June if Moscow accepts Paris's invitation.

As Europe 1 notes, the invitation will be sent to the Russian diplomatic mission in France.

It remains unknown who will represent Russia in this case, as the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.

As a reminder, the USSR was not directly involved in the landing of the Allies in the anti-Hitler coalition in Normandy on June 6, 1944.
