MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Servicemen from more than 10 countries will take part in the parade on Moscow’s Red Square commemorating the 70th anniversary of victory over the Nazi Germany, Kremlin Chief of Staff Sergei Ivanov said Tuesday.

“More than 10 states will send their military units to take part in the parade, some of them for the first time,” he said.
