Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev has sharply criticized the views expressed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on May 9 - Victory Day. He called Zelensky's implicit statements about possible strikes on Moscow a provocation.

Axar.az reports that D. Medvedev wrote about this on his Telegram channel.

"Zelensky said that he rejected the three-day ceasefire proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin for May 9," Medvedev added.

He assessed Zelensky's statements about the lack of guarantees for the safety of world leaders in Moscow as a verbal provocation.

"Zelensky understands that if a real provocation occurs on May 9, no one can guarantee that May 10 will come in Kiev," Medvedev emphasized.
