On the one hand, we all know ‘talk is cheap’, so it may be that Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky is just posturing when he hints that his forces may well attack the May 9th Victory Day Parade in Moscow, Russia – an event that will gather thousands of people, including as many as 20 heads of state.
This would amount to an especially damning escalation since Putin declared a 3-day truce from May 8-10 – a proposal that Kiev sneered at, but hasn’t publicly rejected.
However, given the apparent lack of common-sense reasoning, many people are taking him seriously when he says Russia is ‘rightfully worried when it fears an attack on the military parade’.
Is Vladimir ‘unconditional ceasefire’ Zelensky hinting at an attack on Russia’s Victory Day parade?

“We in Ukraine never wanted a single second of this war. Back on March 11, we responded positively to the American proposal for a full ceasefire. We made our own proposal to Russia – bilaterally – to halt strikes at least on civilian targets. We also proposed making the Easter ceasefire full and extending it for thirty days.
Russia has consistently rejected everything and continues to manipulate the world, trying to deceive the United States. Now, yet again, another attempt at manipulation: for some reason everyone is supposed to wait until May 8 before ceasing fire — just to provide Putin with silence for his parade.
We value human lives, not parades. That’s why we believe — and the world believes — that there is no reason to wait until May 8. The ceasefire should not be just for a few days, only to return to killing afterward. It must be immediate, full, and unconditional — for at least 30 days to ensure it is secure and guaranteed. This is the foundation that could lead to real diplomacy.
We reaffirm this proposal. The American proposal also remains on the table. Russia knows exactly what it needs to do and how to respond: to genuinely cease fire.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called May 9th a ‘sacred holyday’, and expressed hope that Kiev will also respect the 3-day truce he offered.
Putin also said that the proposal for a ceasefire on Victory Day is ‘the beginning of direct negotiations with Ukraine without preconditions’, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Sputnik reported:
“ZELENSKY AND HIS ‘EXTREMIST GANG’ SABOTAGE PEACE EFFORTS – Russian MFA spox:
How can we talk about ‘ceasefires’ with Ukraine when the Kiev regime is ‘literally planning terrorist attacks live on air!’ Maria Zakharova declared.
She made this comment in response to Zelensky’s threats regarding Russia’s ‘pressure points’ and his claims that Moscow is allegedly ‘rightfully worried’ about the Victory Day parade marking the 80th anniversary.
‘And they even boast about it. Just like CLASSIC TERRORISTS,’ the diplomat added.
Russia has repeatedly pointed out Ukraine’s inability to negotiate. As Zakharova emphasized, Zelensky disrupted the Ukraine meeting in London, the Easter ceasefire, and the moratorium on strikes against energy facilities.”
