Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral will take place on Monday, 19 September at 12 at Westminster Abbey. This temple can accommodate two thousand people. Politicians from all over the world will appear there. Participants will include Andrzej Duda or Joe Biden.

At a press conference last Friday, reporters asked Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov if Russian President Vladimir Putin was considering attending the ceremony in person. – No, this option was not considered – replied Peskov, quoted by the Russian agency Interfax. Kremlin representatives also avoided answering questions about who would represent Russia at the ceremony.

Great Britain did not invite Russia to Elizabeth II’s funeral

Soon it turned out that the royal family did not invite Russia to the funeral of Elizabeth II. The Kremlin spokesman replied that the president would not be going there. In turn, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry reacted much more decisively. Maria Zacharowa judged that “The decision of the British authorities not to invite Russia to the queen’s funeral is very immoral”.

“The British Foreign Office notified the Russian Embassy in London of its decision to refrain from inviting Russia, including senior embassy officials, to participate in mourning ceremonies following the death of Queen Elizabeth II,” the statement read.

Zakharov: England took advantage of queen’s death

“We believe the UK’s attempt to use a national tragedy that has touched the hearts of millions around the world to settle the bill with us on days of mourning is highly immoral,” Zakharova said. “Nevertheless, Russia sends its sincere condolences to Britain for their great loss” – he added.

According to him, London “He asked Russia’s special military operations in Ukraine to explain his move, which was very cynical because Princess Elizabeth then joined the Additional Territory Service during World War II, while the British Army fought the Nazis and their Ukrainian collaborators.”.

“Now the British elite are on their side. However, Moscow still honors the memory of all veterans who contributed to the victory “ – added Zakharova.
