Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed concerns over the security of foreign diplomats attending the 9 May Victory Day celebrations in Moscow, amid fears of Russian provocations. While Putin announced a three-day ceasefire for humanitarian reasons during the celebrations, Zelensky argues this is a façade concealing Russia's ongoing aggression. Ukrainian officials are urging for a genuine ceasefire rather than temporary pausing for parades, citing a nuclear threat from Russia if Ukraine retaliates. The situation indicates a continuation of the war with no peaceful resolution in sight.
President Zelensky stated that foreign diplomats cannot be guaranteed security on their visit to Moscow for the 9 May Victory Day due to potential provocations.
Ukrainian foreign minister Andrii Sybiha challenged Russia to declare a ceasefire immediately, stressing that any pauses should not be just for a parade.
