What is the significance of Russian Ambassador Nechaev's planned attendance at the WWII commemoration in Torgau, given Germany's concerns about Russian propaganda?

Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechaev will attend a commemorative event in Torgau, Saxony, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
