U.S. Leaders Warn Against Dangerous Kremlin Rendezvous
President Vladimir Zelenskye’s latest diplomatic update has come straight from the front line: foreign diplomats who plan to pitch up in Moscow for Victory Day on May 9th cannot expect the Kremlin to keep them safe. He fears that Moscow may issue pre‑emptive accusations, and in return, Kyiv could be seen as the aggressor.
Putin’s “Humanitarian” Ceasefire
- Russian President Vladimir Putin has rolled out a 3‑day stoppage — from May 8th to May 10th — to let the country gloat over its so‑called victory over the Nazis.
- In public rhetoric, the pause is pitched as “humanitarian,” but analysts suspect it’s a smokescreen to keep fighting on.
- During the break, the Kremlin plans a rousing speech proclaiming that Russia has, in fact, won the war.
What This Means for the International Community
With diplomats heading to Moscow, the stakes have never been higher. The G7 and other allies are urging safety guarantees, but the situation remains highly unpredictable. Zelensky’s warning is not just a warning—it’s a plea for the world to remember the heavy toll of any “Victory Day” celebrations in a conflict zone.
Oh, and if you’re planning on bringing your passports and sipping tea in Moscow, you might want to double‑check whether “security guarantee” came with a complimentary shield.

Russia’s War Pause? A Real Reality Check
Andrii Yermak, the boss at Ukraine’s Presidential office, has been keeping the tongue firmly in its cheek. He says Putin could order the troops to stop shooting, but that would be a trick to fool everyone into thinking the war is winding down.
In a speech that was almost a parody of grandstanding, Yermak warned that “Russia has always been a master at making up stories for the world, never to be trusted.” He added that if the Kremlin ever got the idea that peace might actually exist, it would have to step away from its hot‑poisoned rhetoric.
Dialogue with Ukraine’s Vice‑President + Two “Why Not” Ideas
Vice‑President Andrii Shturbanskyi posed a bold question to the Russian leadership: “Why wait for May 8? If Russia truly wants peace, give us a real ceasefire, no parade‑fluff. Give us 30 days of real silence instead of just the next few hours after the Victory Parade.” The Kremlin rolled its eyes and said no.
The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, followed up, saying that if Russia were serious, it should propose a 30‑day truce and leave the km for the mess on the ground alone: “We can’t guarantee what will happen inside Russia. Russia’s arm might hold the line – we’re not there with a plastic shield.” The record stayed, but the Russians were noticeably embarrassed to not give them the promise on the spot.
Secret Ammunition, Nuclear Threats – And a Little Sassy Response
Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, Sergei Ivanov, escalated the playbook: “If Ukraine attacks Moscow on 9 May, nobody will be able to guarantee that Kyiv will see 10 May.” He said that the Kremlin was going for the bomb‑based “boom” crowd and warned that a creeping armageddon Was a real understatement.
Meanwhile, Zelensky has been handling a ridiculous line of requests from people sleeping on the free‑fare boat of “governments.” “I can’t offer them guarantees, because I’m not the official who has a ticket inside the Russian Federation. That’s who protects those people.” Zelensky called the approach “white‑washed” and whispered humor, “Look, if you want a guarantee, call the inside guys, not this guy.”
Maria Zakharova – The Voice of “We’ve Got a Big Air People‑Packing Lite!”
The Wonder woman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, has slapped the fact straight onto the headline: “The Ukrainian President had an absolutely blunt, intangible threat to the leaders of the world who are going to celebrate “Victory Day” in Moscow. We are not taking any sycophantic baby steps with history, but we do have an honest mouthful of “it’s your fault.””
In the end, the war’s uncertain end and the no‑chance attempt to stop firefights like it gets a call from the past. It’s all as uncertain as the next rand.
