“It is not a secret that India has agreed to the participation of its contingent, and the Indian military contingent, all 75 people, will take part in the solemn passage on Red Square on June 24,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
According to the diplomat, this step by India indicates that the country shares with Russia the significance of the Victory, as well as "the inadmissibility of rewriting the results of the Second World War and denigrating the significance of the Victory over fascism."
Earlier, Army General Oleg Salyukov, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Ground Forces, in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper, said that military men from 12 countries had already arrived in Russia to participate in the Victory Parade on Red Square, which will be held June 24 in honor of the 75th anniversary of the victory in Velikaya World War II.
