5/7/2025 — Half of russia’s “allies” are skipping Putin’s Victory Parade.

From: Roman Sheremeta — Many countries either declined entirely or are sending only low-level delegations as a formality.

  • Pakistan won’t attend at all.
  • India, South Africa, and Indonesia are sending defense ministry reps.
  • Iran will be represented by its ambassador.
  • Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán not coming.

From Europe, only Slovak PM Robert Fico and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić are expected — and Vučić had to reroute through Azerbaijan after Latvia and Lithuania blocked his airspace.

Naturally, one loyal ally will be there: Xi Jinping is en route to Moscow.
