Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has confirmed that he will visit Moscow in May to attend the celebrations of the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, TASS reported, citing the Palestinian Authority ambassador to the Russian capital.
In December, the Kremlin said it had invited "many countries" to come to Moscow to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the war, which Russia marks on May 9.
It is not yet clear how many foreign leaders will visit Moscow this year for the celebrations, which will take place more than three years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Reuters notes.
