France will deploy around 43,000 police and troops for the 80th-anniversary ceremonies of the D-Day landings in Normandy. Over a million attendees are expected, with 25 world leaders set to participate, including US President Joe Biden.
A significant security operation involving 43,000 personnel will ensure order at the events held from June 5 to June 7. The main ceremony near Omaha Beach will be heavily guarded, reflecting the importance of the historic occasion.
Noteworthy is the invitation extended to Russian representatives, excluding President Vladimir Putin, to acknowledge the Soviet people’s contributions to WWII. This event stands as one of the largest tributes in French history, honoring the bravery and sacrifices made during the D-Day landings.
