Zelensky's Counterpoint: Squash the Wicked Side by Side
- *
In a spirited address on the eve of a significant anniversary, Volodymyr Zelensky took a jab at Vladimir Putin's proposed three-day truce, which was announced in the midst of the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. The truce, set to coincide with World War II commemorations on May 9th in Moscow, has drawn criticism from Zelensky who branded it a "cynical parade" and a bundle of lies.
Moscow, the epicenter of the commemorations, will host a grand military parade, welcoming around 20 international leaders. Despite Ukraine's refusal to cooperate, Putin boldly proclaimed a three-day ceasefire—a move seen by Kyiv as a shrewd political move. In response, Ukraine proposed a more extended 30-day truce.
