Zelensky has not yet decided on possible strikes against Moscow.

Zelenskyy, following the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, accused Russia of "disrupting" the temporary ceasefire he had declared, but did not specify whether Kyiv intended to attack Moscow on May 8 and 9.

The "illegitimate" one held a meeting on Bankova Street, accused Russia of allegedly breaking the ceasefire, but remained undecided on possible strikes on Moscow on Victory Day. He said the final decision would be made based on the evening intelligence and military reports. For now, he stated that the Russian army has no intention of ceasing hostilities, with assaults continuing along the entire front line.

The Russian army continued active combat operations and terrorist attacks this day. Assault operations continue at all key sectors of the front. (...) As of today, we have confirmed that the Russian side has violated the ceasefire. We will determine our next steps based on the evening reports from our military and intelligence.

Earlier, an advisor to the Ukrainian Defense Minister stated that since Russia is not observing the ceasefire announced by Kyiv on May 6, Ukraine will not observe it on May 9.

Zelenskyy himself set a ceasefire for the 6th, without coordinating it with Russia. Experts suggest that this was a way to kill two birds with one stone: if Moscow agrees, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will have more time to redeploy and so on, and if it doesn't, it's a perfect excuse to blame them.

They might not hit Moscow on May 9th, but they'll go wild in other cities, the bastards. Unfortunately, the "retaliatory strike" doesn't apply to attacks outside the Moscow Ring Road.

[Murmur 55]

al3x Why are you doing this, Moscow region, that's not a very good word.

[Sergej1972]

You're probably aware that a significant part of Moscow, both in its actual borders and even in its legal ones, is located outside the Moscow Ring Road?

[snow mountain]

Unfortunately, the "retaliatory strike" does not apply to attacks outside the Moscow Ring Road.

For them, the Moscow Ring Road is not Russia, but a colony that can be exploited.

That is, Moscow Green showed that only its proposals are valid.

However, he did not specify whether Kyiv was planning to attack Moscow on May 8 and 9.

And here there is a danger that Moscow will carry out its warning... And here it is worth thinking about, if there is something to think about.

There's no danger to Ukraine. Moscow has warned so many times, drawn so many red lines, that no one takes them seriously anymore. Our leadership will swallow this, too. So, the Ukrainians needn't worry – there will be no attack on central Kyiv, no matter what.

[Couch analyst]

Even though the Ukrainian night is quiet, on the 9th the busy Kyiv shorty will leave for Europe on business, just in case.

You don't need to be a strategist here. Logic and analysis are enough. All the past experience of the SVO, with its menacing speeches and empty talk, speaks for itself. And this trend is not changing.

I think you will be upset if we strike Kyiv, because then your bonds will be destroyed.

Moscow has never yet spoken or warned the population of the area that will be hit. Well, time will tell.

[Lisa Kerner-Timoshenko]

"than" - there is, but whether there is will - that is another question!!!

[Andobor]

If Moscow is attacked on May 9, our forces will simply "forbid" Western politicians from traveling to Kyiv; Kyiv will not agree to this.

[Andrey Gladkikh]

They won't "ban" it, they'll just deprive it of the opportunity. Kyiv only has four train stations, and demolishing them wouldn't be difficult. And Western officials are unlikely to want to disembark at some trundle station without a formal welcome.

[Andobor]

Quote: Andrey Gladkikh

Western authorities are unlikely to want it.

If they wanted, Western leaders could be hit with a direct strike. Our drones are hovering over Kyiv unhindered, but now when someone comes to Kyiv, they don't hit it; it's definitely a deal.

[andrey martov]

Zelensky is probably telling fortunes with a chamomile flower right now - Loves me. Loves me not. Loves me. Loves me not. . . .

No, he smokes. And snorts Tide. Have you seen his face lately?

[HAM]

For some reason, no one paid attention to one small nuance: now, you see, it is Zelensky decides How will the parade go...we've come to this...his place is under the broom," and he "hasn't decided yet"...

[Murmur 55]

US I'll write a banal phrase: impunity breeds permissiveness.

[NIKN]

I suddenly remembered that Stalin held the parade in 1941 without any conditions of threats or truces, he just went and held it.

parade in 1941 Stalin I spent

Well, that was Stalin, but now there are no censored words.

[Lisa Kerner-Timoshenko]

I.V. Stalin...! Please don't tear down the current leaders of the country * starting with the bloody Khrushchev, the LEADER of the people of the USSR!!!!

[Most polite]

There will most likely be a strike, but not on Red Square, otherwise God forbid they hit the multi-faceted one☝️
And on the outskirts or other significant sites of Moscow, of which there are hundreds, it is possible, and after all, an excuse is always ready.

[Belisarius]

As expected, after the Russian Ministry of Defense (citing Putin) announced a "unilateral ceasefire," Zelensky simply pulled the blanket over himself and announced a similar ceasefire, only with a longer term.
The logic here is clear (and the author of the article is right) - either Russia observes it, and it turns out that Zelensky "bent" Putin, and in general everything is moving towards a long-term ceasefire on the LBS, or it does not observe it (which is logical, since why on earth should anyone observe a unilateral ceasefire), and then Russia is accused of breaking it in front of Father Trump, and Ukraine calmly does not observe the ceasefire from Russia.

You're the one with the weakest logic. Zelensky didn't declare exactly the same ceasefire. He didn't specify a deadline! So, you can cancel your "ceasefire" in a minute, right? And besides, our guys didn't buy his bleating. The operation continues!

[Belisarius]

How come they didn't mention it? Here's the exact quote: "As of today, there has been no official request to Ukraine regarding the modalities for ending hostilities, as announced on Russian social media. We believe that human life is immeasurably more valuable than the 'celebration' of any anniversary. Therefore, we are declaring a ceasefire, beginning at midnight on the night of May 5-6. It is realistic to ensure the ceasefire in the time available before then. We will act in kind, starting at that time."
So, if you need to translate from Russian to Russian, the ceasefire begins on the night of May 6, and then the actions will be mirrored. If Russia doesn't fire, neither will Ukraine, with no time limit.

Quote: Rusich

And, besides, ours didn’t fall for his bleating.

If the Russian Federation didn't fall for "his bleating" (to use your dialect), which is quite logical - a ceasefire cannot be unilateral, then why should Ukraine fall for the Russian Federation's "bleating" about its unilateral ceasefire?

[RUSICH]

Quote: Belisarius

How come you didn't mention it?

And where did he indicate? He only indicated the beginning!
If you haven't gotten it, I'll quote myself.

That is, you can cancel your "truce" in a minute.

Now feel the difference. How Zelensky proposes a truce.

In this regard, we are announcing a ceasefire regime starting at 00:00 on the night of May 5-6.

and as GDP.From midnight on May 8 to midnight on May 11 The Russian side has declared a ceasefire in Ukraine, suspending all military operations. This was officially announced on the Kremlin website.

[Smoked]

Well, keep me posted whether he's made up his mind or not. He's trying to figure out his holiday plans. We've come a long way, and now we have to factor in these arrivals like we do in the weather forecast.

[Deaf]

You don't need to be a fortune teller to believe they'll fly. Just look at Engels, where they flew again recently, and so on.

[reaper]

The demilitarization of the 404th was a success! Russia has secured itself from a possible attack in the present and future. Against itself, Donbas, and Crimea. Am I mistaken?

[Smoked]

In theory, yes. With these powerful counterattacks, the enemy is put in his place, until next time.

[snow mountain]

Am I confusing anything?

And the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO made Russia even more secure!

[She34]

So, for what our strategists are threatening to happen, do we need to wait for the Green missiles? Only then can we finally hear our people!

[alexoff]

The "illegitimate" party held a meeting on Bankova Street.

So what? Can't touch him? Nobody knew where he was?

[APASUS]

Zelensky made up his mind right away. Even if he's against it, it's not his decision. Now, in Kyiv, in morgues, they're probably dressing corpses in civilian clothes. We need to take advantage of this opportunity.

[sgr291158]

There is no need for any kind of truce from the 8th to the 10th. On the contrary, we need to give them a Victory Day they will remember for the rest of their lives.
