Medvedev addresses Zelensky's proposal for a three-day truce.
You betcha, Dmitry Medvedev - ex-Russian Prez-turned Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council - ain't mincing words when it comes to Vladimir Zelensky's recent remarks. According to "Komsomolskaya Pravda," Medvedev's taken quite a shining to the thinly veiled threats Zelensky's been dishing out at world leaders.
Medvedev calls out the bogeymen lurking in Zelensky's words, warning that Ukraine's position on the Victory Day parade in Moscow means squat to ol' what's his name (you know, the one with the big red button).
Let's bust this down: Zelensky's turned his nose up at Putin's proposal for a three-day ceasefire on May 9. That's right, you heard it. And, guess what? Old Dmitry thinks it's all just jibber-jabber meant to start some ruckus. He went on to say that even the bumminest bum alive would catch onto the fact that if world leaders bought it in Moscow on May 10, Kiev would be peachy keen, right?
But wait, it gets better! Medvedev calls Ukraine's stance on the safety of foreign dignitaries attending the Victory Day parade in Moscow nothing but hot air. He says it's just smoke and mirrors, meant to kicked up some dirt.
So, who's looking for Zelensky's guarantees? Just a bunch of cheap propaganda, says Medvedev.
Can you dig it? Russia clearly ain't happy with Ukraine's dilly-dallying when it comes to the ceasefire. But, and this is big, Medvedev's not the only one feeling the heat. Putin and the Kremlin have spoken out too, stating that Zelensky's rejection was a test of peace, and they want answers pronto[2][3].

- Zelensky's rejection of the ceasefire proposal could further complicate the peace process in Ukraine, which has suffered from ongoing conflict since Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014.
- The tense relations between Russia and Ukraine are exacerbating tensions in the region, with both sides regularly exchanging fire and accusing the other of violating the ceasefire.
- The ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine has resulted in thousands of casualties and displaced persons, making peace essential for the stability of the region.
- There are concerns that the Vilnius Group, which is made up of NATO countries and nations not formally aligned with either Russia or Ukraine, may be pulled into the conflict as more powerful countries become involved.
- The conflict in Ukraine is part of a larger geopolitical struggle between Western democracies and Russia, which some analysts believe could have larger consequences for regional and global security.
Zenensky's refusal of Putin's ceasefire proposal for Victory Day has incited controversy, as Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian President and current Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council, has vehemently criticized Zelensky's supposed threats to world leaders. Medvedev has questioned Zelensky's sincerity in promising guarantees for foreign dignitaries' safety during the Moscow parade, deeming it as mere propaganda. Furthermore, Medvedev suspects that Zelensky's rejection of the ceasefire was intended to provoke discord. These actions have heightened the already tense relations between Russia and Ukraine, potentially complicating the peace process in the region and risking involvement from the Vilnius Group in an escalating conflict.
