Background:
As of May 3, 2025, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, issued a warning that Kyiv's survival could not be guaranteed if Ukraine were to attack Moscow during the 9 of May parade. This statement followed Russian President Vladimir Putin's declaration of a 72-hour ceasefire from May 8 to 10. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed willingness for a ceasefire but insisted on a 30-day duration, which Putin rejected. Zelenskyy also stated that Ukraine could not ensure the safety of foreign dignitaries visiting Moscow during the ongoing conflict.

@Transparent yeah and do attacks on other nearby Russian military targets count or just people currently marching?
@JoshuaWilkes Participants while marching or people there to participate? The Zelenskyy quote is about people in town for the parade. Don’t jump on people for wanting disambiguation.
