KANSELIR JERMAN Angela Merkel menyerukan kerjasama dengan Rusia di tengah ketegangan atas Ukraina.
Dia terbang ke Moskow untuk menghadiri kemenangan tentara Rusia atas Jerman dan meletakkan karangan bunga untuk mengenang pahlawan tak dikenal Rusia yang tewas dalam Perang Dunia II di taman makam Pahlawan Tak Dikenal di dekat Kremlin bersama Putin dalam upayanya membujuk Presiden Rusia mengurangi ketegangan di Ukraina.
Militer Rusia telah menggelar parade besar untuk menandai peringatan 70 tahun kemenangan atas Nazi Jerman tetapi kebanyakan negara-negara Barat memboikot perayaan atas aneksasi Rusia ke Krimea dan dukungan untuk separatis di timur Ukraina, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
GERMAN CHANCELLOR Angela Merkel has called for co-operation with Russia amid tensions over Ukraine.
She flew into Moscow for the country's VE Day celebrations today and paid tribute to Soviet soldiers killed in the Second World War by laying a wreath at the grave of the Unknown Soldier near the Kremlin walls alongside Putin in an apparent compromise gesture after skipping the main festivities yesterday.
Russia had staged a huge parade to mark the 70th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany but most Western countries boycotted the festivities over Russia's annexation of Crimea and support for separatists in eastern Ukraine.
