“[Ukraine will not be] playing games to create a pleasant atmosphere to allow for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s exit from isolation on 9 May,” Zelensky was quoted as saying by Ukrainian media.
The Ukrainian president also warned that Ukraine cannot guarantee the safety of foreign guests who will attend the May 9 parade in Moscow.
Earlier, Russia declared a ceasefire during the 80th anniversary of the World War II Victory: from midnight on May 7-8 until midnight on May 10-11.
Russia will fully guarantee the security of all the guests at the Victory Parade, the chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Leonid Slutsky stated. He also added that Zelensky is undermining peace efforts with his threats and is once again trying to derail the negotiation process.
