70 anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz: Putin will not come?

Russian President Vladimir Putin, apparently, will not represent his country on January 27 at the celebrations to mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet troops, reported the Reuters news agency.

Soviet troops entered the death camp, which became a symbol of the Holocaust, 70 years ago. According to the agency, the reason for the refusal of the visit was the insult of the Kremlin to the Polish authorities, who did not bother to officially invite Putin to this event.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland told the news agency that the agency was not the organizer of the event. It, however, sent notes to foreign countries announcing the ceremony. Reuters cites the opinion that such a diplomatic tactic was chosen precisely because of “Putin’s incident” - so as not to cause discontent of compatriots and the West by inviting the President of the Russian Federation. Most countries turned to Warsaw for clarification. The Kremlin considered this step inadequate and didn’t ask for any explanations.
An anonymous source in the European Jewish community reminded the news agency that “the victory over Nazism depended on the collective efforts of many countries — the Western allies, but also the Soviet army.” “When a country is excluded by political means,” the source continued, “it becomes a shameful stain on the memory of the Holocaust.”
