Diplomatic missions in Moscow are trying to determine how serious the calls to leave Kyiv are.

Reports are emerging that several countries, including EU member states, are attempting to ascertain through their diplomatic missions in Russia the "relevance and seriousness" of the warnings issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry, represented by Maria Zakharova, regarding the need for diplomatic mission members and foreign citizens to leave Kyiv in the near future. As Military Review previously reported, as of the morning of May 7, not a single embassy had taken steps to evacuate its personnel from the Ukrainian capital.

Western sources claim that this reaction is explained by “an attempt to assess the level of risk and formulate one’s own set of precautionary measures without commenting on what is happening in the public space.”

At the same time, Europe does not rule out the possibility that the situation could change at any moment.

Let us recall that the Russian Ministry of Defense, acting on the directive of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, declared a ceasefire on May 8 and 9, with the caveat that if the Kyiv regime attacks Moscow, it will also attack the center of Kyiv.

The Ukrainian authorities have already announced that they will not observe the ceasefire during these days. Consequently, the regime in Kyiv is effectively already giving the order to attack the Russian capital on May 8-9, and is simultaneously preparing shelters in case of a Russian strike on the central part of the Ukrainian capital. There is a high probability that the top military and political leadership, having recorded the Tik-Toks from Khreshchatyk in advance, will take their now-familiar safety route—to bunkers or simply further away from Kyiv—to western Ukraine or Europe.

Accordingly, the question arises: will the strike on central Kyiv, announced as a retaliatory measure several days in advance, be effective? It is also questionable whether central Kyiv will be struck if the enemy attacks any other Russian city on May 8-9. These questions remain open.

I wonder how diplomats figure this out? They ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: will you strike or not?

[Silver99]

And anyway, what's the point of widely publicizing something that should have happened five!!! years ago? If we want to destroy the enemy's military and political leadership, why warn about it? And why only for the strikes on Moscow, and specifically on May 9th? Today, the enemy is attacking Russia, and what's the difference? The blood of civilians in Samara, Tula, and Kazan is no less valuable than that of Muscovites.

The most popular question of the day. But no one's going to answer it. How can one not recall the Leningrad song "Moscow for Whom Do Your Bells Toll?"

But no one will answer it.

Why should military command disclose all its actions, especially during a special operation? Let's assume we don't know even 10% of the initial data. And judging serious matters based solely on our own feelings is, at the very least, incompetent.

[Arthur Grudinin]

While the SVO is ongoing, there will be no attack on the decision-making center.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

I'm afraid Zelenskyy made his threat at the request of Europe itself. Now, if something happens and foreign embassies and diplomats are harmed, the EU will go into hysteria. That's what the EU is waiting for.

[solar]

Many diplomats have informal contacts in their host country—joint banquets, buffets, and the like—that lend themselves to this. The diplomatic corps is like a separate clan; it's entirely possible for a public squabble to occur during the day, followed by a peaceful drink at a joint buffet in the evening.

Quote from solar

The diplomatic corps is

That's not the point, everyone's just together on the 9th, at the moment of provocation, they'll go out into the countryside for a barbecue, and that's all...

[megadeth]

I wonder how diplomats figure this out? [belay] Are they asking the Foreign Ministry: "Will you strike or won't you strike?" laughing

They are looking at the actions of the FSA embassy, ​​IMHO.

This is the person I would look at the least in today's crazy world.
He's not even a madhouse leader—he's worse... Even the most raving lunatics are afraid of his unpredictability. He'll threaten to take away a beloved elephant, or he'll give the maharaja a slap on the wrist, or at least be rude, or he'll threaten to take away the naibs and nukers...

The funny thing about this situation is that it hasn't been announced yet, but will the retaliatory blow be delivered immediately or in a week or two?

[Andobor]

Quote: PN

Later, there will be a ban on Western kings visiting Kyiv. Kyiv is unlikely to agree to this.

[Uncle lee]

Quote: PN

and will the blow of retaliation be dealt immediately or in a week or two?

The attack on Kyiv was supposed to take place on February 24, 2022...

[Totor5]

Zelib should have been finished immediately after the failure of Istanbul, and Kyiv should have been wiped off the face of the Earth.

[Tomsk123]

Promises don't mean deliverance. Are the lines not enough for you?

[crown1992]

A week or two and we'll calm down.
What happened, happened, passed away
Of course, it's terrible, ridiculous, senseless.
Ah, how could I bring back the beginning?
It is impossible to return to the beginning, it is unthinkable
Don't even think about it, forget it.

Keep pedaling until they give you the chance.

[MetalDesign]

Why is this happening? Because they don't take us seriously anymore. How many red lines have they drawn? Until we do what we promised, at least once, their attitude won't change.

[Zheka111]

Serious nowhere.
Because instead of a celebratory fireworks display there will be a strike on Kyiv

[novel66]

But will it happen? Nobody believes it anymore.

[solar]

declared May 8 and 9 as the days of the ceasefire, with the proviso that if the Kiev regime attacks Moscow, then the center of Kyiv will be attacked.

A weak threat. :(( I'm not a diplomat, but Kiev's behavior simply suggests itself - if there is a strike on Moscow and a retaliatory strike on Kyiv, then they will claim that the strike on Kyiv was planned regardless of the possible strikes on Moscow on May 9...

Point press-press. Self-preservation kicked in. Contact the Strategic Missile Forces - they have exercises from May 6th to 10th. The Kura training ground will be receiving something, on video camera. Are the "Erivan residents" and the Israelis worried? The West had a tough night, unlike us. We made a decision.

[novel66]

We made a decision

Oh really? No sooner said than done.

[tralflot1832]

I'll give the Europeans some advice: ask Trump about this!!! Will the Russians attack the embassies in Kyiv? We've already talked with Trump for an hour and a half, and with Rubio too. Coincidence?

[carpenter]

Hard training makes easy fighting. It's not in vain that training takes place during this period.

[Ture Hund Dog]

The GDP will not hit its own, "bourgeois" people, and there have already been many of these warnings, saying that we will shoot at decision-making centers, but to no avail.

on the morning of May 7 none of the embassies did not take measures to evacuate its personnel from the Ukrainian capital

[Alexander Vanichev]

Maybe the Supreme Leader will speak out and issue a specific warning so that foreigners are kept away from Kyiv for a couple of weeks while they wait for a response? And target the power grids, not the center, so that Kyiv's sewer system goes down the drain for a long time.

[Chip4ik]

He might perform, or he might not.

[g_ae]

Oh, come on! His own "managers" don't take the Supreme Commander seriously, they've wiped their asses with so many "May decrees," so whether he speaks or not is irrelevant. It's like a New Year's speech. Nothing.

[Brturin]

Quote: Alexander Vanichev

Maybe the Supreme Leader will come forward and give a specific warning.

In principle, this is not the Supreme's business. In the good old days, there was a TASS statement and that was more than enough. Now that our Western press secretaries have adopted the fashion of commenting on every sneeze, all this is devalued. It is not for nothing that people say the word silver, silence... But the words of the Supreme should be "word stronger than seal", otherwise... Trump's example with his verbal interventions or eruptions is an example of this...

Yeah, let's destroy another garbage dump.

Quote: Vladimir60

Yeah, let's destroy another garbage dump.

Yeah, just this morning I got a message about "another dump."
Channel "Operation Z: War Correspondents of the Russian Spring".

"Destruction on an unprecedented scale": A large Ukrainian ammunition depot was destroyed by a strike near Kharkiv.

An Iskander missile strike hit a warehouse in Mala Danilovka, Kharkiv Oblast. The video shows a secondary detonation—ammunition exploding in the burning buildings.
▪️ Ukrainian Nazis deliberately located the warehouse in the middle of a residential area.
"We are facing a disaster of unprecedented scale. Our community has never seen such a level of destruction at the same time.
▪️ About 250 houses were damaged... About 20 streets were affected. There are problems with the power supply.
▪️ Dozens of cars were smashed, and metalworking and polymer processing plants were destroyed,” the local mayor complains.

[Sotskiy]

Diplomatic missions in Moscow are trying to determine how serious the calls to leave Kyiv are.

Here, like litmus paper, the full "power" of the red lines is revealed in one sentence.

[Totor5]

The embassies disappeared in 2022... then returned.
The Jews put pressure on the Strategist and outlined his red lines. That's why Zeliboba, NATO tourists, princes, and other Nazis roam freely around Kyiv.

[Foggy Dew]

Bobik has done more for Russia than, for example, all the Russian-language media combined! It's because of him that people are simply shying away from Ukrayina now. He can't be killed; it would harm Russia first and foremost! On the contrary, a candle should be lit to prevent his own SAS guards from killing him.

[Totor5]

Who's shying away from him, and where? The Ukrainians are practically painting icons with him, he's touring the world like a pop star, and the army is fighting for every stinking stronghold.
We need to get it done immediately and harshly, without sentimentality and all this hooting. For how long?

[Foggy Dew]

Even Trump, for example. The US has more resources than the EU, but as long as Bobik is there, they can't help openly. They won't understand. He's been a scarecrow in Europe for a long time, too—they're staging protests against him specifically, and they're vilifying him both in the media and on the streets—and even Macron won't be able to win over the electorate that easily.

[Totor5]

The US State Department has approved a possible deal to sell Joint Direct Attack Bombs (JDAM) – the American equivalent of the FAB – to Ukraine.

- 1200 KMU-572 sets (for 500-pound bombs). Bomb 227 kg.
- 332 KMU-556 kits (for 2000-pound bombs). Bomb weight 907 kg.

572 tons of controlled explosives to kill more Russians.

[Foggy Dew]

Selling. It's still a question of whether there's money for it. And the US doesn't intend to allocate more. Is there a difference? Huge. For example, just throwing it away for Israel—and that's 100 billion in at least two weeks. The difference is very noticeable.

[Totor5]

Jews are choosing who will be America's president. Trump's main donor is a Jewish billionaire, and his main fundraiser is a Jew from Epstein Island, whom Trump appointed Secretary of Labor for this and has been unable to remove despite the pedophile scandal.

You need to answer a question with a question: can you bite through a crowbar with a point?

[Archivist Vasya]

As of the morning of May 7, none of the embassies had taken steps to evacuate their personnel from the Ukrainian capital.

That's right, there's no real reason for that.

The top military-political leadership, having recorded the Tik-Toks from Khreshchatyk in advance, will head off along their already familiar safety route – to bunkers or simply further away from Kyiv – to western Ukraine or Europe

This is a win-win situation, and that's how it will be.

Will the attack on the center of Kyiv, announced as a retaliatory measure several days in advance, be effective?

- No, it won't, what's the question.
In other words, we don't have a good scenario here; the best that can happen is that the air defense will work, the drones won't get there, the BEKs won't either, and there won't be any other "surprises."
Rђ RІRѕS, Ukrainians They don't lose anything, they don't risk anything, and on the contrary, they might even end up in the black...

P.S. Instead of the word "Ukrainians" I have another one with "khokh...." - what kind of autocorrect is this?! Tolerasts in the VO admin panel?

[cat Crush]

In fact, they only threatened to strike at CENTER KYIV, but no one threatened Kyiv's rulers. Let them move a little to the side and quietly guzzle salo and vodka.

[tralflot1832]

Quote: lis-ik

Just calm them down already, no one is going to launch anything in Kyiv.

When I visited the VO website, I remember how 404 and those who joined them here claimed that Russia would not undertake military action against Ukraine, and that NATO, with its Article 5 and economics, would be on its side.

[Tomsk123]

Well, hit the curb near the embassy fence! I bet I'll run and get the slippers? Actually, the question is... Did you wait that long? Remember how the Americans hit the Chinese embassy and said... Oh, I missed...

[T.A.V.]

It's a bit of a mouse-and-mouse race, to be honest. A serious attack with consequences on Moscow during the parade would mean Europe is ready to fully engage in this mess, with all the ensuing consequences in terms of military contingents and so on. But I don't think there will be a serious attempt to break through to Moscow. Zelensky is certainly a junkie, but I don't think he and his masters are ready for such an escalation right now. After all, the bet is on destabilizing the situation within our country on an interethnic and interfaith level, plus the economic management is lousy, which is contributing to growing tensions among the population.

[Foggy Dew]

Incidentally, they'll use the noise to destroy the diplomatic missions of at least England, Germany, and the United States. The explanation—like in Belgrade, when they precisely struck the Chinese embassy—was mixed up. But the point is, there are definitely coordination centers there, which means there's at least communications equipment, and most likely something more fun. And they won't be able to pack it in a suitcase to take it away on the 8th.

[Vladimir Eremeev]

I don't think anything will happen! Our authorities will easily find excuses for their inaction. Personally, I haven't believed any of the Kremlin's threats for a long time. There's a complete lack of resolve and political will.

[Grancer81]

It's starting to look more like it's Ukraine, not Russia, that's leading the SVO. Who can the diplomatic missions ask about how serious they were about leaving Kyiv? Belousov or Gerasimov?

[Fitter65]

Let us recall that the Russian Ministry of Defense, acting on the directive of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, declared May 8 and 9 as the days of the ceasefire regime, with the proviso that if the Kyiv regime attacks Moscow, then a blow will be dealt to the center of Kyiv.

Is it possible for other populated areas of the Russian Federation? Are there non-Russian citizens living in other villages, towns, and cities in Russia?

[isv000]

We need to ask him to come back for clarification on the 10th...

[Ignatius555]

After five years of white-glove warfare and 1000500 red lines that were constantly being shifted, the Europeans' question doesn't seem unreasonable. They, and Ukraine, have already been trained to accept it. Of course, ours must be told that a strike on Kyiv will be carried out in 100% of cases, in response to any possible Ukrainian strikes on non-military Russian targets during Victory Day celebrations. And it doesn't matter whether Ukraine strikes Moscow, Volgograd, or any other Russian city.

[Vladislav Minchenko]

- Comrade Hitler, Marshal Zhukov speaking, leave Berlin, we are about to bomb it.
But if you don't bomb Moscow, we won't touch you.

[however78]

They've been asking for it for a long time!!!

[Radical]

Diplomatic missions in Moscow are trying to determine how serious the calls to leave Kyiv are.

The simplest way to test the seriousness of the situation is to not evacuate anywhere from Kyiv. That's the Foreign Ministry's response.
