Like other members of the foreign media in Moscow, I was accredited to tmrw’s Victory Day parade on Red Square. But like most others, it seems, I’m not any more.
According to the Kremlin, our accreditation wasn’t “revoked”. But the changed format means there’s no longer space.

First we’ve heard of it…
Last week Moscow repeatedly said it would be “unacceptable” to have peacekeepers from a NATO member state in Ukraine
Very big development if Putin has agreed, the first hint of a concession. Or is it a bluff from Trump? Or even an ad-lib?
24 Feb 2025
So this is new - @realDonaldTrump says Putin, @KremlinRussia_E has agreed to European troops as peacekeepers in Russia.
“He will accept that. I have asked him that,” says Trump of Putin.
