The Russians are already talking about strikes after May 9. This is a strange and clearly perverse logic of the Russian leadership. There are also reports from some states close to Russia that their representatives intend to be in Moscow. It is a strange desire at such a time. We do not recommend this,&#8221;<\/em> the Ukrainian leader said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Russia\u2019s Defence Ministry unilaterally declared a ceasefire for May 8\u20139 and warned of a strike on Kyiv in case of disruption to the May 9 celebrations.
