Putin about the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine. He talks about the “logical ending” of the war
In a fragment of an interview published on a telegram, Putin stated that Russia has strength and means to bring a war against Ukraine to a “logical end”.
The whole interview is to be broadcast on Sunday evening.
The Russian authorities announced on April 28 that they announce a suspension of weapons in the war with Ukraine from midnight from May 7 to 8 to midnight from 10 to 11 May “for humanitarian reasons.” These dates coincide with May 9, when Russia will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany in World War II.
The President of Ukraine Wołodymyr Zelanski rejected the Kremlin's proposal to take the arms to last only three days and appealed by a 30-day truce, in accordance with the strategy proposed by the US authorities.
—Bezwartening weapon suspension is a model proposed by Americans. We follow him. From one date – preferably earlier. Yes, let's try for 30 days. Why a 30-day weapon suspension? Because it is impossible to agree anything within three, five, seven days – said Zelanski on Saturday during a conversation with journalists.
He added that Ukraine is not able to guarantee representatives of other security countries while traveling to Moscow on the parade on May 9, because the Russian side can independently take any actions against guests and blame Ukraine.
China leader will appear in Moscow
On Sunday, the Kremlin and the Chinese Press Agency Xinhua confirmed that from 7 to 10 May the leader of the PRC XI Jinping will come to Russia. The visit coincides with the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
Information about visit XI was also confirmed by the Kremlin. In the communication on the telegram platform, it was reported that during talks, the leaders would discuss the development of the strategic partnership of both countries and sign a number of documents. The discussion will also include international and regional issues.
It is expected that other leaders will also take part in the celebrations on May 9, including from Brazil, Serbia and Slovakia.
