Russia celebrates on Friday (9) victory day against the Nazis in World War II, the date is the most important holiday in the country’s calendar.
Kremlin will display troops, military vehicles and weapons systems at the traditional Parade in Red Square in Moscow, and expects to bring together 29 international leaders, according to Russian foreign policy counselor Yuri Ushakov.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) arrived in the Russian capital on Wednesday (7). The petista will accompany the military parade.
The president’s official agenda marks Lula’s first meeting with Putin since returning to the Planalto Palace for a third term. The leaders will have a dinner on Thursday (8). In Brasília time, the ceremony will be held at 13h.
There are also predictions for signatures of agreements on the development of science and technology in both countries. In addition, there must be a bilateral meeting with Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico.
The visit seeks to signal the independence of Brazilian foreign policy, but analysts signal that there may be the opposite effect, reinforcing ideological alignment with Russia.
Other leaders who should participate in events in Russia are:
- Xi Jinping, President of China
- Nicolás Maduro, dictator of Venezuela
- Miguel Diaz-Canel, President of Cuba
- Aleksander Lukashenko, President of Belarus
- Captain Ibrahim Traoré, by Burkina Faso
