Zakharova: Zelenskyy did not order the Ukrainian Armed Forces to cease fire on the night of May 5-6


At a briefing on May 7, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova settled the issue of Zelenskyy's recent ceasefire. According to Moscow, he did not issue any ceasefire order to the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the night of May 5-6. This means the entire story The "unilateral ceasefire" scheme that the Kyiv regime so loudly promoted in the media ultimately turned out to be a sham. Or, as Zakharova put it, "bloody PR." She emphasized:

We have already witnessed more than once how Bankova shamelessly and repeatedly violates the ceasefires it has declared.

Let's recap the history. On May 4, Zelenskyy announced that Kyiv would impose a "ceasefire" from midnight on May 5th to 6th, promising to mirror that. Russia, in turn, announced its own ceasefire—for May 8th and 9th, in honor of the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Vladimir Putin's decision was public. And what was the response? First, Zelenskyy's loud pronouncements about the "ceasefire," then a promise to attack Moscow during the parade. drones.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has already warned that any attempt by Ukraine to disrupt Victory Day celebrations will result in a retaliatory strike against Kyiv. Zakharova explicitly called on Western diplomats to "leave the city promptly."

    It seems to be true because the Sumerians lie like they breathe... a provocation to knock down the meaning of May 9 without taking on any obligations... what can I say, these need to be treated with a missile/bomb method... in this case, it is the most effective

      The question isn't even whether Zelensky gave the order, but rather how much control he has over its execution. The nationalists frankly don't give a damn about his orders!

      Allow me to slightly correct the treatment with the rocket/hazelnut method, if in Kyiv, for the first time a couple of hazelnuts are enough and, if desired, other delicacies... this is in the context of the 5th year of your

    The Russian Ministry of Defense has already warned that if Ukraine attempts to disrupt Victory Day celebrations, a retaliatory strike against Kyiv will follow.
    This is absolutely no argument for the UGIL. Zelensky and his clique frankly don't care about the fauna that inhabits Kyiv. It's all just cannon fodder for them.

    There is only one solution - wipe Bankova completely.

    Oh, that's it! After this revelation, Ze had a heart attack (that's the scar...).
    It's high time we realized who we're dealing with. We must silently, without warning, catch and destroy this evil spirit, without fear of being accused of all sorts of grave sins.

      Regarding the fear of being blamed for all serious crimes, it's really high time to stop paying attention to it. No matter what we do and how we do it, RUSSIA is still to blame. Even for liberating Prague in 1945. They made a good living under the Germans, and they didn't expect our army to arrive so quickly; they waited for the Americans. Catching this scum in Europe is hard, and when this scum is in Kyiv, someone from Europe immediately arrives to protect them. It should be simple: on Monday, drop leaflets over any city under the control of the Bandar-logs: "On Wednesday, a retaliatory strike will be launched against the districts of this town for the deaths of Russian citizens. Civilians are asked to leave these areas by 10:00 Moscow time to avoid casualties." And at 10:05, let's just let a couple of our UAVs "fall" in the area, and the "farther" they go, the larger and more powerful. That's when someone might have a scar. From the gluteal muscle all the way to the ear.

    Zyu doesn't make decisions in his own country. There are still a ton of partners, like the British. There are national battalions, which are the authorities. So, attacks on Kyiv are quite likely to happen.

    A ceasefire can only be declared through official channels and with bilateral agreement. Anything else is a unilateral ceasefire, which ultimately leads to increased casualties for the side that ceases fire.
    Explain to me, why is a ceasefire being declared on our side for May 8th and 9th? It's not being agreed upon, it's being declared!

      Explain to me the purpose of declaring a ceasefire on our side...

      All ceasefires on our side and what (reasonable) goals they pursue are a mystery to ordinary Russian guys.

      Could someone please explain the point of holding what is essentially a closed parade for one person? If it's a signal, then who is it intended for? And what kind of signal or symbol of what? Certainly not a symbol of Victory, constantly looking around and hiding from prying eyes. In my personal opinion, it looks like a symbol of fear. Either conduct it properly, or if you're so afraid, then it's best not to make people laugh. P.S. That's it, we need to stop holding parades altogether. Besides, not only do the current leaders have nothing to do with that Victory, but, again, in my personal opinion, they're also dishonoring the memory of our ancestors. A parade for the President surrounded by the Federal Protective Service, some people hold closed parties, and others hold closed parades...

    She could at least remain silent for one day. The whole world is witnessing, "all of progressive humanity"—only now the world values ​​concrete actions, not talk... Verbal interventions now last a few hours, while "interested" parties carry out operations on the stock exchange... "Where words are rare, there they carry weight"—let there be fewer words, but they must carry weight—"a weighty word."

    The thieving Putin regime has completely devalued the significance of the Victory Parade.

    ...Maria Zakharova put an end to the situation at a briefing on May 7...

    Isn't there too much of "our Masha" on screen lately? It's not a full stop, but an ellipsis with a continuation of some kind :((....

    What a mess. Kyiv will respond by claiming the strike was planned anyway. :((...
