Conflicting Reports Emerge on PM Modi's Possible Attendance at Russia's Victory Day Parade

While Russian media suggests a high probability of PM Modi's visit, Indian officials state no plans are currently under consideration.

Russian news agency TASS reported that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to attend the May 9 Victory Day parade in Moscow.
Indian officials, however, have clarified that a visit by the Prime Minister is not currently being planned despite an invitation from Russia.
Discussions are reportedly ongoing regarding the participation of an Indian military contingent in the parade, though no decisions have been finalized.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico are among other confirmed attendees for the event.
The Victory Day parade marks the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory in World War II and holds significant geopolitical importance during ongoing discussions about the Ukraine conflict.
