Ukraine can attack Russia on Victory Day, but not Moscow - WP

To spread: despite the recent series of drones on Moscow and some alarm in the Russian capital, Ukrainian officials reject the possibility of any attacks to celebrate Victory Day in Russia this week. About it writes The Washington Post.

According to the report, on Friday, May 9, Russia will celebrate the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany's surrender in World War II, and President Vladimir Putin will accept more than a dozen foreign leaders from friendly countries, including President of China, Xi Jinping. In Russia, the assumption has increased that Ukraine can take the opportunity to put the Kremlin in an uncomfortable position in front of its allies.

The high -ranking representative of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, however, said that such an attempt is unlikely because of the low chance of success. "As you can see, they have moved all Russian air defense systems to protect Moscow. Even if there is an attempt, it will not be successful," he said on the conditions of anonymity due to the delicacy of the issue. "It may be Ukrainian attacks on other regions, but not on Moscow.

" Another representative of the defense agency added that an attack on the west on Red Square, which should be present in Chinese, Indian and even European officials, threatens Russian retreat and can be angry with Washington. The official called the assumption that Ukraine is planning an attack, "Hyp". We will remind, the Kremlin wants to attract foreign military in Moscow in Moscow. Ukraine has called for foreign states to refrain from participating in their forces in the Moscow Parade.
