In a powerful display of international alliances, Russian President Vladimir Putin personally welcomed a host of world leaders at a grand Kremlin dinner commemorating the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The event underscored Russia’s continued global relevance despite Western narratives of diplomatic isolation.
Among the first to arrive were Burkina Faso’s revolutionary leader Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik, and Abkhazia’s President Badra Gunba. Their early appearance set the tone for what became a strong geopolitical statement.
Notable attendees already inside the Kremlin included:
- Chinese President Xi Jinping
- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel
- Congolese President Denis Sassou Nguesso
- Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh
- Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan
- Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega
- Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić
- Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev
- South Ossetian President Alan Gagloev
Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico was slightly delayed en route via Georgia but confirmed his attendance, further highlighting the diversity of support for Russia on the global stage.
This convergence of leaders—many from countries labeled as part of the Global South or under Western pressure—marks a rejection of the U.S.-led strategy to diplomatically isolate Moscow following the Ukraine conflict. The optics of such a gathering, amid Western sanctions and condemnations, project a clear message: Russia still commands loyalty, respect, and partnership across multiple continents.
The dinner not only honored the sacrifices of WWII but also served as a quiet rebuke to Western powers that have attempted to cut Russia off from the global community.
