\u201cThe ceasefire should not be just for a few days, only to return to killing afterward. It must be immediate, full, and unconditional, for at least 30 days to ensure it is secure and guaranteed. This is the foundation that could lead to real diplomacy,\u201d Zelenskyy added. <\/p>\n
Putin\u2019s troops violated their own one-day ceasefire on Easter within hours, and blamed Ukraine, while his forces resumed a full-scale bombing campaign<\/a> almost immediately after the Christian holiday.<\/p>\n May 9, marking the triumph over Adolf Hitler\u2019s Nazi Germany, has become a core symbol of Russia\u2019s modern militaristic ideology. Putin has a list of top global guests coming to Moscow\u2019s parade, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico and Serbian President Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n \u201cPutin needs a ceasefire on May 8-11 so he doesn\u2019t have to hide Xi and other honorable guests in Lenin\u2019s mausoleum from Ukrainian drones,\u201d Anatoliy Amelin, CEO and founder of the Ukrainian Institute for the Future think tank, said in a post<\/a> on Facebook.<\/p>\n Even though the Russian army has the upper hand on the battlefield, steadily pushing Ukrainians out of the eastern Donetsk region, Kyiv has conducted a successful bombing campaign against Russia\u2019s military facilities and oil depots \u2014 as well as against top Russian army officers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ukraine has also struck Moscow with drones multiple times in the three years since Russia started its full-scale invasion. One drone fell on the Kremlin\u2019s roof in May 2023.<\/a> The latest major attack on Moscow took place<\/a> last month, with Russian air defenses shooting down at least 91 drones over the capital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThe ceasefire should not be just for a few days, only to return to killing afterward.
