Russia continues to violate Kyiv-proposed ceasefire, Zelenskiy says

People talking about raining missiles or whatever, or “providing fireworks” now aren’t they? This comment section is full of listnookors, apparently fantasizing about a bloodbath. I am sure they aren’t thinking about it seriously. But still, it is not ok.

Classic Listnook moment traumatizing kids who think they’re going to be bombed is le epic win, all good though because they’re Russian kids

Don't apologize to this troll-farm hack.

I am pretty sure they won’t attack the parade either. There is little to gain from it apart from increasing their resolve and unify russians before Putin. Ukraine played its cards wonderfully so far. They wouldn’t make such a controversial move.

Don't they have sparkling new T-14s? It's not like they've been seeing any combat.

To easy discontent created by forced mobilization? Not sure either, using nukes seems to extreme for me, I would like to say I think putler isn't that crazy, but I can't. Maybe just for rally around the flag effect?

You know there’s only one side to blame, the one that started all of this.

Well then Russia can "accept" some Ukrainian drones on their 'special day'. They've earned it.

Then scatstan should not cry when Ukraine visits their scat day parade via drones

Dude what? The timeline is: \- Russia unilaterally declares ceasefire for their parade \- Ukraine unilaterally declares ceasefire a few days prior to Russia’s ceasefire \- Russia doesn’t adhere to Ukraine’s unilateral ceasefire Meaning, Ukraine shouldn’t / won’t adhere to Russia’s ceasefire. Pretty straightforward.

Russia proposed a ceasefire for Easter. Zelenskyy said yes. As soon as it “started,” Putin violated it hundreds of times. This ceasefire is strategic, yes, but Zelenskyy is only doing it because he knows Putin won’t honor it.

The Nazis surrendered on May 7th not May 9th. The victory day is bullshit. Ukraines dates are historically accurate. Russia is attacking Ukraine today despite today’s anniversary of Nazi surrender. Let’s see how galvanized the Russians are after the Red Square attacks on Saturday. We will see if you are correct.

So you can declare one sided ceasefires if it corresponds with a parade you have planned? Didn’t you just say people can’t decide ceasefires for themselves? Clearly your reasoning bends to whatever is required to support your strange one sided point of view.

"zero importance for anyone" I would argue the Ukrainian people who have been killed and injured on these days of proposed ceasefire, the dates were important 

6/7 May mark when Kyiv was liberated from Soviet forces by Ukrainian People’s Republic and Polish forces in 1920. Seems thematically relevant to me.

No it doesn’t, use common sense

The only reason you think 9th of May is “important” and Ukraine’s dates are “made up” is because you’re looking at history through a narrow, Soviet lens. russia doesn't celebrate the end of World War II, they celebrate the “Great Patriotic War”. There’s a specific reason for that branding, it conveniently erases 1939 to 1941, the years when the USSR was a Nazi ally helping Hitler carve up Poland and the Baltics. Ukrainians have zero respect for the 9th of May narrative because it’s built on the lie that the Soviets didn't help start the fire. Ukraine acknowledges the actual World War II (1939–1945) and the millions of victims lost to both totalitarian regimes. By proposing a ceasefire for the 5th or 6th, Ukraine was testing a simple premise, does russia care more about saving lives or their 9th of May photo-op? russia's refusal proves the point. To them, the “importance” of a date is purely about a propaganda parade. To Ukraine, any date that stops the killing is important. If you think a military show “holds more sway” than stopping a massacre a few days earlier, you aren't talking about strategy, you're just defending a regime that values optics over people

What is more important WW2 victory day or Christmas, for most people. Christmas that's easy, and ruzzia didn't agreed for Christmas ceasefire,, the only dipshit who thinks may 9 is important is little b**** putler. So no ruzzia doesn't have any ,,sway" here

Contrary to what you might believe, the vast majority of the world would disagree with your opinion. Your average person isn't going to cheer if Ukraine kills 50-100 civilians attending a parade, regardless of who is holding the parade and for what purpose. Slaughtering non-combatants in the street doesn't win allies, nor will it convince anybody that Ukraine "want to win this fight." It's one thing if Russian civilians die as collateral damage when bombing a factory, refinery, or target of military/industrial importance. That's just how war works. Bombing the parade would make Ukraine look more like Al Qaeda than a country fighting for its own democracy. Do you think the guys who orchestrated the Boston Marathon bombing are fighting for a just cause? Or the Bastille day truck attack of 2016? Cause to the average person around the world, hitting the parade with a Flamingo would be the equivalent to that.
