Russian Security Council says capital may not “see May 10” in case of shares against Soviet victory
Dmitry Medvedev, vice president of the Russian Security Council, said on Saturday (3.br.2025) that no one can ensure Kiev’s survival if Ukraine attacks the country during the celebrations of victory in World War II. The statement was a response to the statements of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about the risk of security of foreign dignitaries at the Moscow parade.
The Medvedev Declaration arises in the context of the temporary ceasefire proposal announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The 72 -hour truce, the 80th anniversary celebrations period of the Soviet victory in World War II.
Kremlin said Putin will host international leaders during the event, including Chinese President Xi Jinping. The celebrations will be held at Red Square in Moscow.
In response to the Russian offer of ceasefire, Zelensky said: “We cannot be responsible for what happens in the territory of the Russian Federation. They are responsible for their safety and therefore we will not give any guarantee.”
Medvedev, former president of Russia who has become one of the most critical voices to the West since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, classified Zelensky’s statement as a “Verbal provocation”.
“[Zelensky] Understands that in the case of a real provocation on victory day, no one can guarantee that Kiev will live to see May 10 ”, He said on his official Telegram channel.
The Ukrainian President had indicated that he would be willing to accept a ceasefire, provided he had a duration of 30 days, a proposal that Putin had previously ruled out. The Russian leader said he seeks a long -term agreement, not only a brief break in the conflict.
