“Our position is very simple for all countries traveling to Russia on May 9: We cannot be held responsible for what happens on the territory of the Russian Federation,” Zelensky said during a briefing with journalists. “They are responsible for your safety. We will not provide any guarantees, because we do not know what Russia might do on those dates.”

Zelensky cautioned that Russia could orchestrate provocations, including “arsons, explosions, or other actions,” and then attempt to blame Ukraine. He said Kyiv has advised visiting delegations accordingly.

That strike on the arsenal outside Moscow the other week has tee'd all this May 9th anxiety beautifully, and Zenensky is riding the wave like a pro.

They don't even need to hit it at this point. In fact the cost of trying and failing might be too high Vs just leaving the impression that they could have done it but chose not to.

Last year, we were concerned about massive missile attacks on May 9th. Good to see it's now reversed.
