No representative from Russia, Belarus, or Myanmar have been invited, says the BBC’s James Landale.
Diplomatic relations between the UK and Russia have all but collapsed since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and a spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin said last week he was “not considering” attending the funeral.
The invasion was launched partially from the territory of Belarus, whose president, Aleksandr Lukashenko, is a close ally of President Putin’s.
The UK has also significantly scaled back its diplomatic presence in Myanmar since a military coup in the country in February 2021.
