President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that this summer will be a turning point for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who will be forced to decide whether to continue military aggression or choose diplomatic channels. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of steering the Kremlin toward diplomacy.
"Russia has announced a parade on May 9, but this year there will be no military equipment on display. This may be the first time in many years that they cannot afford to showcase their weapons. And Ukrainian drones may also appear at this parade," the president noted.
Zelenskyy stressed that this indicates the Russians are no longer as strong as they once were, and pressure must continue to be applied through sanctions.

Drone attacks on Moscow
Recall that drones struck Moscow last night—this occurred five days before the next parade. Debris from the drones fell right onto the streets of the aggressor country’s capital, and local authorities reported damage to a building in an upscale residential complex on Mosfilmovskaya Street.
