Ukrainian MP threatens terror attack on Red Square --Yury Pavlenko has suggested targeting Moscow despite Vladimir Putin’s proposal of a 72-hour ceasefire | 2 May 2025 | Kiev could target Moscow's Red Square during next week's Victory Day celebrations, a Ukrainian lawmaker has suggested, despite Russia's offer of a three-day ceasefire. May 9 marks the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a 72-hour ceasefire from May 8 to 10, citing "humanitarian considerations." Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov later described the truce as a chance to begin "direct negotiations with Kiev without preconditions." However, in an interview with Ukrainian media on Wednesday, Yury Pavlenko openly suggested that Ukraine could try to derail Victory Day, which is one of the most revered holidays in Russia, as well as many former Soviet republics.
