RUSSIAN motorcycle club the Night Wolves began a journey on Saturday commemorating the Red Army’s 1942-45 counter-offensive against nazi Germany.
About 20 bikers set off from Moscow with the aim of crossing into Poland before eventually reaching Berlin on May 9, despite Warsaw’s announcement that it would refuse to let them into the country.
Night Wolves leader Alexander Zaldostanov said they would still try to cross en masse at the border near Brest, Belarus, as planned.
“If they don’t let us in as a motorcycle column, we’ll go individually,” he said.
“We’ll go by a different crossing. But, for sure, we’re not abandoning our attempt and we’ll go on our complete route,” he told state news agency RIA Novosti.
The group is expected to reach the border today.
