Russia says the decision not to invite Vladimir Putin and other dignitaries to the Queen's funeral is “profoundly immoral” and “blasphemous”.
World leaders will gather in London on Monday to remember the UK's longest-serving monarch – but Kremlin representatives were left off the invite list amid the ongoing Ukraine invasion.
The Russian despot is not the only global representative to be excluded, with leaders from Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Belarus and Myanmar also left out.
