President Robert Mugabe has left Harare for the Federation of the Russian Republic, ZBC reported.
President Mugabe, who left this evening, will join other world leaders and the people of the Russian Federation to commemorate the 70th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany.
Mugabe will attend this year's Victory Parade, which is expected to be one of the biggest as it marks 70 years of allied victory on the European continent.
Other invited heads of state and government are from Armenia, Serbia, Vietnam, China, North Korea, Khazakstan and India, among others.
The return of Crimea to Russian Federation last year and the subsequent disturbances in Donetsk, Ukraine have caused some countries that fought in the war to stay away from the celebrations.
Germany, Belarus, Austria, Bulgaria and Estonia are not participating.
War machinery and equipment that include tanks, guns, war vehicles and aircraft will be paraded.
Various sections of the armed forces divisions will participate in the parade including engineering forces, the Pacific Naval Military Institute and foreign contingents from Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan.
