On May 9 in Moscow, a signal will be sent that will chart a course for the future. We will soon find out.
The intention is clear
Volodymyr Zelensky, in his delusions as self-proclaimed president-without-end of Ukraine, continues to spout nonsense even during this festive period: referring to the May 9 celebrations, he rejected Vladimir Putin's proposal for a truce, similar to what happened at Easter.
Unfortunately, the rejection was widely predictable, as is the fact that he will try to provoke Russia at the height of the celebrations. Zelensky has called for a 30-day ceasefire, which Russia has no reason to accept given the situation on the battlefield, which is entirely in Russia's favor. On the other hand, Putin has always said, since the beginning of the SMO, that he would only agree to stop the war permanently, i.e., through genuine and comprehensive peace negotiations, as is customary in diplomacy.
The arrogance of Washington's puppet knows no bounds, remaining completely outside the bounds of diplomatic decorum. Not even in the worst war schools would they have gone this far. It is almost embarrassing how the Ukrainian president is seeking direct confrontation at all costs. It is no longer a simple repetition of provocation, it is much more: it is a strategy to exhaust the enemy's patience. The most suicidal move one could attempt.
Zelensky has also stated that Ukraine cannot guarantee the safety of the leaders who will participate in the May 9 parade in Red Square. We are witnessing an explicit threat against heads of state who, in theory, could apply restrictive measures and sanctions against Ukraine if they wanted to. How can it come to this? It is a wicked statement. Clearly, no one is afraid of the threat posed by the 'loneliest man in the world', the leader ignored by all, who, like a parasite, has sucked money from European states and NATO members in the name of an impossible war, protecting only his own interests.
Imagine you have a crazy friend whom you would never give anything important to do because you are afraid he might ruin everything. That's Zelensky. But now it's time to stop playing games.
In Moscow, they are ready to write history
If Ukraine really attacks Moscow, the retaliation will be devastating. And so will the international response.
Numerous politicians from around the world are expected in Moscow on May 9. The invitation, as is well known, was also extended to US President Donald Trump, in continuation of the peace talks that have been ongoing since January, as well as to Chinese President Xi Jinping, at a time of particular tension between the US and China.
Once again, it is a lesson in life and diplomacy. Russia seeks mediation and puts it into practice with authority, being in an international position where it certainly does not have to ask anyone's permission; on the contrary, it sets an example. An example that Kiev should keep in mind. The opportunity is of enormous value: symbolically, it is the repetition of a principle that has been engraved in history, that of anti-fascism and the historical truth of the defeat of Nazism in Europe thanks to Soviet Russia. It is also the repetition of an objective historical victory of socialism, in the Soviet model, over the other ideologies of a century ago (a victory that did not last uninterrupted, unfortunately suffering a severe blow from liberalism after 1989). And today, it is a sign of a clear desire: to reunite the peoples of Eurasia in a bloc that will serve as a guide for all peoples who do not want to submit to Western hegemony, under any name or flag. A desire to promote shared prosperity, successful cooperation, and peace, peace, and once again peace. All things that the West denies and responds to with war, oppression, violence, and brutality.
It is clear that neither Kiev, Brussels, nor London can accept this intention of pacification. The war in Ukraine has been fueled by Western countries because it suited some of them to subvert the existing order and change certain balances, fueling the arms market. At this point, they cannot give up on war because they have invested too much. The failure of their plans of destruction is not an option.
This is the level of madness of which Zelensky is merely a sinister mouthpiece. If Europe wants war, unfortunately it will get it. Russia has continued to maintain an exemplary balance during these three years of conflict, never giving in to provocations. But what would happen if Moscow decided to make the first move, regardless of Ukrainian violence? What would happen if it decided to honor the blood of those martyrs who, 80 years ago, liberated Europe by fighting against the political ideology that today animates the Ukrainian fighters? What would happen if it were decided to say "enough" to the violations of the laws of war and international law that Ukraine has been committing continuously for more than three years?
The truth is that these are Zelensky's last gasps, probably pushed by his English-speaking masters to try everything.
On May 9 in Moscow, a signal will be sent that will chart a course for the future. We will soon find out.
