The Kremlin at the time said it hadn’t invited any because it wasn’t a “round-number anniversary.”īut on Monday officials announced that Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Tajik President Emomali Rakhmon would be joining Putin and Zhaparov at the festivities, along with Armenia’s prime minister, Nikol Pashinyan, and Kazakhstan’s leader, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
That was one more foreign guest than last year, when no leaders went amid Putin’s broad diplomatic isolation over the war. Initially, only one foreign leader was expected to attend this year’s Moscow parade - Kyrgyz President Sadyr Zhaparov, who arrived Monday and met with Putin for talks. In the Russian capital, car-sharing services have been temporarily barred from the city center - drivers won’t be able to start or finish rides there – amid preparations for the traditional Red Square parade. Petersburg, often referred to as “Venice of the north” for its network of rivers and canals, using jet skis in certain parts of the city is prohibited through Wednesday.
