Will Ukraine target a parade filled with foreign leaders?
The unilateral 48-hour ‘Victory Day’ truce declared by Russia has begun, but its effectiveness seems unlikely.
Today (8), Russia and Ukraine have exchanged major attacks on each other.
Kiev is angry because Moscow ignored a Ukrainian call to halt fighting earlier this week in some king of ‘counter-ceasefire’.

Russia has twice threatened a massive strike ‘on the heart of Kiev’ if Ukraine tries to disrupt the Victory Day parade tomorrow (9), urging foreign diplomatic missions to evacuate the Ukrainian capital.

Over a dozen airports in southern Russia are closed today due to the threat of a Ukrainian attack.
In the meantime, Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky apparently threatened foreign leaders attending the parade.
“We have requests from states close to Russia that their representatives are going to be in Moscow. A strange desire these days. We do not recommend it.”

South China Morning Post reported:
“Hours before Russia’s ceasefire began, Zelensky warned Moscow’s allies against attending the parade.
‘We have also received messages from some states close to Russia, saying that their representatives plan to be in Moscow … We do not recommend it’, Zelensky said. ‘They want from Ukraine a permit to hold their parade so that they can go out onto the square safely for one hour once a year, and then go on killing’, the Ukrainian leader added.”
