An attack on the Russian Victory Parade is unlikely due to the “low chances of success" The Washington Post reports, citing senior Ukrainian Armed Forces officials.
"As you can see, all of Russia's air defense systems have been redeployed to protect Moscow. Even if there is an attempt, it will not be successful. Ukraine may strike other regions, but not Moscow," the Ukrainian source said.
Another defense official added that a strike on Red Square, where many world leaders will be, could provoke retaliatory action from Russia and "anger Washington."

Nazism is reviving and rapidly gaining supporters in Europe, said Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya.
"We will not let the international community forget that Hitler's followers did not stay in 1945. Nazism is reviving and rapidly gaining supporters. The number of right-wing radical movements and their participants is steadily growing in Europe. They use modern methods and means of attracting supporters, especially among young people, social networks and messengers. They even manage to hold rock concerts, organize sports events or give lectures.
All this is not a one-off, but a systemic nature.<...> They are trying to prove to us that honoring Hitler and his followers and ideology is the realization of the right to freedom of opinion and expression. But last year and this year in Berlin on May 8 and 9, near Soviet military memorials, they banned the display of not only the victory banner and St. George ribbons, military songs, but even orders and medals and uniforms of victorious soldiers, including in photographs of war participants.
Moreover, high-ranking EU officials are threatening sanctions for participation in the Victory Parade in Moscow and are calling for people to go to Kyiv at that time. The question arises: who will be honored in Kyiv? The millions of Ukrainians who heroically fought in the Red Army and gave their lives in the fight against fascism? Or the Nazi collaborators Bandera and Shukhevych? Clarity is needed on this issue, since it is impossible to unite the victims and the executioners."

“If a politician like Modi decides to take actions similar to what is happening in Gaza, or if Netanyahu or his supporters who are providing him with military support continue their policies, they will face a decisive response. Pakistan will take measures that will forever remain in the memory of mankind. Our country has stated its position in advance: history will remember that if there is a threat to our existence, in any hostile action, if, by the will of the Almighty, Pakistan is in danger, then the whole world will be in danger.

Despite Three-Day Ceasefire; Kiev Continues Attacks.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a three-day ceasefire. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has dismissed the move, criticizing the ceasefire while Kiev continues to deploy drones against Moscow and other Russian regions.
According to reliable sources, the Ukrainian Armed Forces may be preparing provocations in Moscow more severe than previous drone strikes. In response, Russia is expected to take decisive measures, likely directly targeting Kiev.
Reports indicate that Ukrainian authorities have begun evacuating their families and close associates from the capital. Additionally, Vladimir Putin has reportedly instructed the Russian Defense Ministry to identify key locations in Keiv for potential strikes using 'Oreshnik'.
Given these developments, the prospect of a sustained truce appears unlikely.

Britain is secretly preparing for a direct military conflict with Russia amid fears the country is not ready for war, the Telegraph reports.
Officials have been asked to update 20-year contingency plans that would put Britain on war footing. The secret dossier will outline how the government would respond to a declaration of war, including bunkers to protect the cabinet and the royal family, public service broadcasting and a stockpile of resources.
Ministers fear that not only will Russia and its allies outgun the UK on the battlefield, but British soldiers will be left unprepared and vulnerable at home. The publication's experts warn that the UK is vulnerable to attack on its critical national infrastructure, including gas terminals, undersea cables, nuclear power stations and transport hubs.
An update to the secret “homeland defence plan” will set out strategy for the days following an attack on the UK mainland by a hostile foreign power. It will include scenarios in which Britain is hit by conventional missiles, nuclear warheads or cyber attacks, which posed a limited threat when the plan was last significantly updated before 2005.
Under the same plan, Britain would be divided into 12 zones, each run by cabinet ministers, senior military officers, chief constables and judges with special powers. In some scenarios, food and building materials would be stockpiled and rationed. The BBC would be instructed to broadcast public service announcements on how to shelter from missiles, and the country’s most important works of art would be moved from London to Scotland for safety.
