Moscow declares Victory Day ceasefire, warns Kiev against strikes

Any attempt by Kiev to disrupt celebrations would be met with a major strike on Kiev, the Defense Ministry has said

The Russian Defense Ministry has announced a two-day ceasefire on May 8–9 to mark the end of World War II in Europe, calling on Kiev to follow suit. It warned that any attempt to disrupt the celebrations, including a strike on Moscow, would be met with a retaliatory strike on the Ukrainian capital.

The ministry pointed in particular to a statement made by Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit in Yerevan on Monday. The Ukrainian leader suggested that Kiev could target the traditional Victory Day parade on Red Square.
