Peskov: The arrival of Vučić and Fico in Moscow is a heroic act

"A large number of people came here despite the pressure that was exerted. In our time, especially if we are talking about Vucic and Fico, this is simply an act of heroism, because showing your sovereign will to honor the memory of Victory Day, despite open, unrestrained pressure, is worthy of the highest praise," said the spokesman of the Russian president, according to the media.

Commanders of DPRK units that participated in the liberation of the Kursk region were present at Red Square, Peskov pointed out.

"These were officers of the highest rank, that is, they were commanders who ensured the participation of Korean soldiers in the operation to liberate the Kursk region," he said.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico took a detour to Moscow to take part in events marking the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, after Lithuania closed its airspace to his plane and other Baltic countries imposed similar restrictions.
