President Putin would be pleased to welcome world leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump, to Moscow for the celebrations of anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany, should they choose to attend, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to a report by tass.com.

When asked if the Russian president would be open to seeing the U.S. leader at the event, Peskov responded, "Well, of course."
