"We urge Ukrainian citizens and the foreign diplomatic corps to take seriously the recommendation of the Ministry of Defense to leave Kiev, which may be subjected to a massive missile strike in response if the Kiev regime attempts to implement its criminal plans to disrupt the celebrations of the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, in a timely manner," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.Rather than embrace the initiative for a Victory Day truce the Zelensky regime reacted apprehensively and proceeded to make terrorist threats against the May 9 celebrations in Moscow, Maria Zakharova said.While in Yerevan earlier this week, Volodymyr Zelensky clumsily tried to belittle the importance of this initiative and then began hinting at possible drone strikes on the parade on Red Square, voicing Nazi, terrorist threats, Zakharova said.Zelensky's announcement of some kind of truce from May 5-6 is dictated by an attempt to interrupt the initiative of Russia and the difficult situation of the armed forces of Ukraine at the front, the spokeswoman said."As far as we know, he did not give any ceasefire order at all. All this is bloody PR," Zakharova said.Moscow has witnessed more than once how Kiev "shamelessly and repeatedly violates the truces it announced," the spokeswoman added.The spokeswoman also recommended paying extremely careful attention to the warning about the consequences for Kiev in case of violation of the truce on Victory Day.

Russia Warns of Retaliation if Victory Day Events Are Targeted
14:00 07.05.2026 (Updated: 16:04 07.05.2026) Kiev has been warned that attempting to disrupt Russia’s Victory Day celebrations could trigger massive missile strikes, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
"We urge Ukrainian citizens and the foreign diplomatic corps to take seriously the recommendation of the Ministry of Defense to leave Kiev, which may be subjected to a massive missile strike in response if the Kiev regime attempts to implement its criminal plans to disrupt the celebrations of the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, in a timely manner," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.
Rather than embrace the initiative for a Victory Day truce the Zelensky regime reacted apprehensively and proceeded to make terrorist threats against the May 9 celebrations in Moscow, Maria Zakharova said.
"In connection with the decision of Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian armed forces Vladimir Putin on May 8-9, 2026, a truce was declared in honor of the Victory celebration. This initiative, by the way, which was actively supported by US President [Donald] Trump during a telephone conversation with the Russian president on April 29, caused a nervous, hysterical reaction to Bankova," Zakharova said during a briefing.
While in Yerevan earlier this week, Volodymyr Zelensky clumsily tried to belittle the importance of this initiative and then began hinting at possible drone strikes on the parade on Red Square, voicing Nazi, terrorist threats, Zakharova said.
Zelensky's announcement of some kind of truce from May 5-6 is dictated by an attempt to interrupt the initiative of Russia and the difficult situation of the armed forces of Ukraine at the front, the spokeswoman said.
"As far as we know, he did not give any ceasefire order at all. All this is bloody PR," Zakharova said.
Moscow has witnessed more than once how Kiev "shamelessly and repeatedly violates the truces it announced," the spokeswoman added.
"I would also like to emphasize that the Russian armed forces will continue to resolutely stop any armed provocations by the Kiev regime," Zakharova said.
The spokeswoman also recommended paying extremely careful attention to the warning about the consequences for Kiev in case of violation of the truce on Victory Day.
