Zelenskyy refuses to guarantee safety of Putin’s foreign dignitaries to watch Red Square parade

MOSCOW:  Rejecting the Kremlin offer for a three-day ceasefire to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday warned the foreign dignitaries invited by Russia to watch the Red Square parade on May 9, that he cannot guarantee their safety.

“We cannot be responsible for what happens on the territory of the Russian Federation. They provide you with security, and therefore we will not give you any guarantees,” Zelenskyy was quoted as saying by RBC news portal.

Kyiv insists on a 30-day ceasefire and the ceasefire announced by Russia to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory Day over Nazi Germany in World War II is a “theatrical production”, Zelenskyy told reporters. PTI
