Hello, dear readers of our site! Today, while the world's attention is focused on events marking the 81st anniversary of Victory Day, an unexpected and significant development has occurred in the political arena. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed a special document prohibiting strikes on Red Square during the military parade in Moscow. Zamin.uz analyzes the details of this important decision and the humanitarian reasons behind it.
Special decree and 'safe square' coordinates
According to the decree signed by the President, the area of the square in central Moscow has been officially removed from the list of targets for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The document specifies the exact geographical coordinates ('square') where attacks are prohibited. Zelenskyy explained this step by citing numerous requests and humanitarian goals established during negotiations with US representatives on May 8.
Prisoner exchange and humanitarian argument
The Ukrainian leader confirmed that the '1000 for 1000' prisoner exchange format proposed by US President Donald Trump was a key factor in his decision. He emphasized that returning Ukrainian prisoners to their homeland and saving their lives is more important than a strike on Red Square. Zelenskyy also announced his readiness to comply with the terms of the temporary ceasefire announced by the Russian side.
Three-day truce and international mediation
The signing of this decree coincides with the three-day truce announced by US President Donald Trump from May 9 to May 11. This is viewed as an effort by the international community to temporarily dampen the flames of war. It is worth noting that on May 4, the Russian Ministry of Defense warned that a 'massive missile strike' could be launched on the center of Kyiv if holiday events were disrupted, and urged civilians to leave the city.
Changes in the Victory Parade: Ceremony without military equipment
This year, the parade in Moscow is being held without military equipment and cadets for the first time in 18 years. The Russian Ministry of Defense explained this by citing the current 'operational situation.' Nevertheless, leaders of countries close to Russia, including the leader of Uzbekistan, are expected to attend the ceremony.
Dear readers of our site, do you think such temporary truces and humanitarian agreements can pave the way for ending the war?
