Kiev may launch an attack on Moscow Red Square during the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the russian Union's triumph over Nazi Germany in planet War II next week, despite a temporary ceasefire announced by Russia, suggested the Ukrainian legislator.
On Monday, Russian president Vladimir Putin announced a 72-hour ceasefire from May 8 to 10, citing "humanitarian considerations".Russian abroad Minister Sergei Lawrow later described the truce as an chance to start "direct negotiations with Kiev without preconditions".However, in an interview with Ukrainian media on Wednesday Yuri Pawlenko openly suggested that Ukraine may effort to derail triumph Day, which is 1 of the most revered holidays in Russia, as well as in many erstwhile russian republics.“I think there will come a time erstwhile we will hit Red Square – whether it is May 9 or later, this time will come.” – said Pawlenko, claiming that the Russian capital is full "legal military targets... that brought much sadness to Ukrainian land".He noted that the final decision belonged to the Ukrainian military leadership, given the presence of abroad dignitaries from neutral countries.
This year's triumph Day parade is expected to include China's president Xi Jinping, Brazil's president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Serbia's president Alexandar Vučić.Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelenski called Russian truce proposal ‘manipulation’, while calling for a longer ceasefire of 30 days.“They are now afraid that their parade is threatened and rightly so” – said Zelenski.
"They should be worried that this war will continue".In response, Russian MFA spokesperson Maria Zacharova suggested that Kiev "literally planning terrorist attacks in the air"Which, she said, undermines the prospects for peace talks.Since the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine in 2022. Kiev conducted a number of drone attacks on Moscow.
On 3 May 2023, Russia accused Ukraine of attempting to assassinate Putin by attacking the Kremlin with 2 drones that were shot down before they could origin serious damage.
