“Meanwhile, all forces are being involved in securing the parade in Moscow to ensure it takes place without incident,” InformNapalm reported.
Quote: “The goal is to accuse Ukraine of indiscriminate attacks on civilian gatherings, to derail US ‘peace initiatives’ and to use these incidents as a pretext for mobilising additional resources from Russian regions.”

Background:
- Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin announced another truce in the Russo-Ukrainian war ahead of Russia’s Victory Day celebrations. It is set to begin at midnight on 8 May and last until midnight on 11 May. [Victory Day is a Russian holiday commemorating the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in 1945, celebrated on 9 May – ed.].
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded by saying that Ukraine does not need a temporary “ceasefire” for the sake of a parade in Moscow but a full and immediate ceasefire for at least 30 days.
- Putin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov hinted that Russia would not agree to a 30-day truce as proposed by Zelenskyy.
- UK Defence Intelligence believes the three-day truce announced by Putin to mark Victory Day is aimed at portraying Russia as open to negotiations and at curbing Ukraine’s long-range strikes, without compromising Russia’s positions on the front lines.
