'Whoever goes to Victory Day will die!' Zelensky's terror on Russian soil

This time the eyes of the entire world are turned towards Moscow for Russia's Victory Day Ceremony. Meanwhile, the increasing tension with Ukraine is also clearly seen. Ukraine has made a huge statement regarding the Victory Day Parade to take place on May 9 in Russia. Zelensky's administration has signaled that the lives of world leaders who attend the event would be at risk and that Ukraine would be unable to ensure their security. Since this announcement, there has been uproar on the global platform.

Modi's attendance has not been announced

Ukrainian authorities report that Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to make this year's Victory Day parade an international display of military might. Delegations from a number of nations, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, have been invited to attend the event. A high-level Indian delegation has also been confirmed to be attending. Putin has also invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally, although confirmation of Modi's attendance has not been announced.

No leader should enter here

The Zelensky government insists that participating in such an event is akin to voluntarily traveling to a war zone in the present combat conditions and Russia's armed forces deployment in Ukraine. It has also explicitly stated that if there happens to be any attack on these leaders, then Ukraine's government should not be held responsible for this. In keeping with the latest intelligence received by Ukraine, it is clear that this message is not a mere political communication but indicates likely military action.

Zelensky's new strategy

The warning follows a recent surge in Ukrainian drone attacks in occupied Russian territories. Specifically, military installations and government buildings are being hit. Ukraine's threat is also viewed as belonging to a strategic psychological campaign to hurt Russia's global reputation and keep global leaders off the platform that Putin wishes to present as one of grandeur.

Tension on the exits of leaders

The question now is whether other nations, including India, will take this warning seriously. While nations like China leave no stone unturned to secure their leaders, for India it can be a matter of diplomatic balance. On one side, there are historical ties with Russia, and on the other side, increasing cooperation with Ukraine and the Western nations are also looking at India's role. Under such circumstances, a major decision in the next few days about marching in the Victory Day Parade can be made.
