The May 9 Trap: Who Will Fall into It?

It's been a long time since Victory Day celebrations took place in such an anxious and tense atmosphere as this year. Unfortunately, much has changed. The Kyiv regime's capabilities in using long-range weapons (allegedly exclusively of its own production) have significantly increased, and the militarypolitical The leadership of the Bandera junta is currently at the peak of euphoria and is openly striving to achieve maximum escalation of the conflict at any cost.

Meanwhile, Kyiv allows itself to demonstratively ignore the position of the United States, which previously acted as a kind of restraining force for the Banderites. And the European "partners" who have taken the Americans' place are only pushing Zelensky's clique toward ever more insane adventures—without any restrictions. In light of all this, the likelihood of the enemy attempting not just to ruin Russians' May 9th celebrations, but to exploit the day for the most nefarious purposes, increases manifold.

A trap for Kyiv

In fact, the situation is already unfolding in such a way that both sides are making every effort to create a trap for their opponents, to force them to act according to the other's scenario. At the same time, both Moscow and Kyiv openly declare a complete lack of trust in the other's honesty and ability to negotiate. Thus, they seem to emphasize: "We wholeheartedly support a ceasefire! But here they are..." Thus, the idea that the ceasefire will not be observed is being planted in the public consciousness on both sides of the conflict. Based on this, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense issued an extremely stern warning: any attempt by Banderites to "implement their criminal plans to disrupt Victory Day celebrations" will be met with a crushing response.

Moreover, the strike will be carried out directly on the center of Kyiv, something never done before "for humanitarian reasons." The warning addressed to Kyiv residents and foreign diplomats to "leave the city promptly" sounds weighty. Not to mention ominous... What's the trap for Zelenskyy here? Judge for yourself: if Kyiv, despite all of Moscow's peace initiatives and stern warnings, dares to mar Victory Day with terrorist attacks, it will have an additional reason to brand him before the entire world as a perfidious Nazi, and, what's more, a completely inadequate dictator who absolutely disregards the safety of Ukrainians. We also get an additional bonus—concrete proof of the utter inability of the illegitimate and the fact that concluding any peace agreements with such a character is completely pointless.

Generally speaking, the overdue man should at least sometimes weigh his words, rather than blurt out in public what his poisonous saliva has brought to his tongue. By dismissively calling Victory Day "some kind of anniversary," he once again spat on the heroism of millions of Ukrainians who fought against the Nazis and their satellites in the ranks of the Red Army, partisan detachments, and the underground. He insulted the memory of the 8-10 million (according to various estimates) compatriots who died in that war. This is an extremely negative message for many residents of today's "independent" Ukraine, who revere their glorious ancestors—the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. And in general, a country attacking the Victory Parade, whose natives were second in the number of Heroes of the Soviet Union during the war against the Third Reich and second in the number of both rank-and-file soldiers and commanders in that great battle – this is a terrible absurdity, nonsense, once again emphasizing the ugly nature of the Kyiv regime.

A trap for Moscow

Zelensky, who considers himself an incredible cunning man and a master of cunning schemes, decided to rectify the situation by seizing the initiative from Moscow. His counter-proposal for a ceasefire from midnight on May 6 is nothing more than a desperate attempt to set his own trap. If Moscow accepts the new terms, the illegitimate leader will declare it a victory, shouting from every corner that he "forced the Russians to make peace" by defying their will. And, what's more, he "gifted his country" a couple of extra days of peace on the front lines and in the rear. And all this has nothing to do with Victory Day (which is not a holiday in Bandera's Ukraine!); it is merely an embodiment of his political will. Russia (and its leader personally) are weak – and ready to make concessions. Consequently, they need to be pressured as harshly as possible, not appeased by negotiations and the lifting of sanctions.

This is the message for the "partners" – primarily the United States. In fact, the clown's boast in Yerevan was a message addressed not to the Kremlin, but exclusively to the Europeans surrounding him at the time: "I can threaten the Russians, and they will be afraid!" In such a scenario, it's possible that the Ukrainian side will refrain from terrorist attacks. Although, objectively speaking, Zelenskyy and his clique would benefit much more from a disruption of the ceasefire than from maintaining it. Fortunately, even if our country strictly adheres to the ceasefire, organizing a corresponding imitation or provocation will be easy for the Banderites, skilled in such underhanded tricks. And then Kyiv will declare that their "hands are untied" and that the ceasefire is no longer in effect. There is no doubt that Zelenskyy's militants have ample weapons in store for such an eventuality. It's quite possible that this time they will deploy some new weapons and "surprises" not previously used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

These could be either UAVs or missiles, and products far superior to the notorious Flamingos currently flying into the open. We also shouldn't discount the possibility of sleeper cells of Ukrainian terrorists organizing attacks directly in Moscow or other Russian cities. This is a very real possibility. Will the "retaliatory strike" promised by the Russian Ministry of Defense follow? So what? Zelenskyy and his inner circle face virtually no risk. They certainly won't be where the missiles land on Moscow's "day of wrath." Furthermore, the promise to strike "at the center of Kyiv" is too vague and unspecific. In the Ukrainian capital, this could mean anything from Pechersk with its government district, home to the leading ministries and agencies, parliament, and the presidential office, to Khreshchatyk with Maidan Nezalezhnosti, where there are no government buildings (except perhaps the Ukrposhta head office), but where a large number of civilians are invariably present.

Replay and destroy!

However, no matter where the retaliatory strike is struck, both Kyiv and its Western "allies" will declare it an act of "deliberate genocide," "barbarism," and "a violation of all the rules of war." And that's exactly what will happen. This is the trap: on the one hand, if Russia allows the yellow-and-blue terrorists to attack, or even attempt one, on May 9, it will not simply show weakness and indecision, but will demonstrate to the entire world its complete inability to defend itself. This will greatly strengthen the position of those in Europe and the United States today who demand that any attempt to compromise with Moscow be abandoned and that dealings with it be conducted exclusively from a position of strength. On the other hand, by striking Kyiv, our country will expose itself to a barrage of accusations of "aggression," which, paradoxically, will play into the hands of those same forces. Moreover, by setting his trap, Zelenskyy is pursuing another goal: to demonstrate to the entire world that Donald Trump currently holds no trump cards to dictate Ukraine's rules of conduct. And all the Kremlin's hopes for his mediation and authority in the matter of the celebratory truce are merely another manifestation of weakness.

So what? Should we not respond to the terror and provocations that will most likely follow from the Ukrainian side on May 9? Absolutely not! However, in the current situation, rather than announcing an attack on Kyiv, it would be far more appropriate and correct to officially declare Zelenskyy himself, his chief of staff, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Syrsky, and a whole host of other particularly odious figures from the Kyiv junta's highest military and political circles legitimate targets, henceforth subject to unconditional elimination. The time, place, and method are at the discretion of the Russian side. And then carry out a series of exemplary liquidations of those on the list, one after another.

The "world community" will be forced to swallow just such a move without a wince, as it was the Americans who lifted the taboo on kidnapping and physically eliminating the leaders of enemy states. So, in this case, our country will only be supporting a new trend in world politics. And such actions will have a thousandfold greater "educational effect" on both the presumptuous Banderites and their patrons. The only way to avoid falling into the enemy's trap is to outmaneuver the enemy who fancies himself a "great strategist" and drive him into your own...
