Putin's bikers the Night Wolves claim 'secret entry' into EU on way to Berlin despite ban

Members of the Russian pro-Kremlin biker group the Night Wolves have entered the EU covertly on a controversial pilgrimage to Berlin to mark the end of World War Two. The group which has been pictured several times with president Vladimir Putin, wanted to re-enact the route of the Soviet Red Army's push towards Germany in the war.

It is aiming to be in the German capital in time for Victory in Europe day, which in Russia is commemorated on 9 May. The planned route was intended to pass through Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Austria.
