Russia urged foreign embassies in the Ukrainian capital to ensure the evacuation of their staff and its citizens in the event of a Russian attack on the city, Moscow’s Foreign Ministry reported on Wednesday.
In a note to foreign embassies, Russia warned that it would launch “an inevitable retaliatory attack” against kyiv if Ukraine disrupted the May 9 commemorations in Moscow, and urged them to “ensure the timely evacuation of staff of diplomatic and other missions, as well as citizens, from the city of kyiv.”
Russia fears that Ukraine will attack Moscow on the day of the military parade on the occasion of the 81st anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germanyand called on foreign diplomats to leave the Ukrainian capital.
The report recalled that the Russian Ministry of Defense had already warned of the consequences of a possible attempt to thwart “a sacred holiday for all Russians,” and urged those statements to be taken with the “utmost seriousness.”
Russia did not previously join the unilateral and indefinite truce proposed by the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, starting last midnight, in response to another proposal previously made by the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, regarding the cessation of hostilities for May 9.
Moscow did not comment on Zelensky’s proposal at any time, who confirmed that the attacks continued, so it could be said that the truce was not accepted.
At the same time, Russian regional authorities denounced that kyiv also did not respect its own truce, as drone attacks against Russian territory continued.
