| [France24] Russia warned foreign diplomats in Kyiv on Wednesday to evacuate the city ahead of Moscow's World War II Victory Day celebrations, threatening retaliatory strikes if Ukraine disrupts commemorations tied to the May 9 military parade in Red Square. Russia marks World War II Victory Day each year on May 9 with a massive military parade through Red Square. The country earlier this week declared a unilateral ceasefire with Ukraine between May 8 and 9 to coincide with the commemorations. |
