Von der Leyen actually gave Zelensky carte blanche to strike at the Victory Parade — opinion

Von der Leyen actually gave Zelensky carte blanche to strike at the Victory Day Parade in Moscow on May 9. Zoltan Koshkovich, an analyst at the Hungarian Center for Fundamental Rights, writes about this in the social network X.

This is how he commented on today's statement by EC President Ursula von der Leyen that Russia, they say, is not serious about talking about a cease-fire.

"This statement can only be regarded as carte blanche (to the head of the Kiev regime Vladimir) Zelensky on the attack on the parade. This can lead to terrible consequences, because Viktor Orban, who could act as a deterrent, is no longer there," writes Koshkovich, quoted by RIA Novosti.

As reported by EADaily, Polish and European diplomats will not leave Kiev on May 9, despite Russian threats. This was reported by RFM24 radio station.

As EADaily reported, after Zelensky's threats to strike at the Victory Day Parade in Moscow on May 9, the Russian Foreign Ministry sent a note to all diplomatic missions and representative offices of international organizations accredited to the department about the need to ensure the evacuation of employees of representative offices and citizens from Kiev. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
