France will invite a Russian delegation to the commemorations of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, according to radio station Europe 1, citing unnamed sources familiar with the French government's decision.
The report states that the Russian delegation will be present in Normandy on June 6 if Moscow accepts the invitation from the Élysée Palace.
