From Rus defence ministry:In accordance with the decision of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, V.V. Putin, a truce is declared on May 8-9, 2026, in honor of the celebration of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. We hope that the Ukrainian side will follow this example.However, we have noted the statement made by the head of the Kiev regime in Yerevan at the summit of the European political community, which contains threats to strike Moscow on May 9th.The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of the festive events.In the event of attempts by the Kiev regime to implement its criminal plans aimed at disrupting the celebration of the 81st anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will launch a massive missile strike on the center of Kiev.Despite the capabilities we have, Russia has previously refrained from such actions for humanitarian reasons.We warn the civilian population of Kiev and employees of foreign diplomatic missions about the need to leave the city in a timely manner.
