He wasn’t done. Taking direct aim at those considering a public appearance alongside Putin, he added:
“No one is going to help Putin play this in order to give him a soft atmosphere of escape from isolation on May 9, and to make everyone feel comfortable and safe – those leaders, friends, or partners of Putin who will come to Kremlin Square… We are either at war, or Putin is showing that he is ready for a ceasefire.”
For observers in Washington and Brussels, the message was clear: Zelensky isn’t backing down. If anything, he’s signaling that Ukraine is willing to escalate—regardless of the international consequences.
Medvedev Issues Dark Threat in Response
That fiery rhetoric was met with a chilling warning from none other than former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, who continues to act as one of the Kremlin’s most unfiltered voices.
Responding directly to Zelensky’s refusal to honor a temporary truce, Medvedev delivered a spine-tingling threat:
“In the event of a real provocation on Victory Day, no one guarantees that May 10 will come in Kiev.”
Taking to social media, Medvedev slammed Zelensky in brutal terms:
“The green unshaven asshole said that he rejects Putin’s proposal for a three-day truce on May 9 and cannot ensure the safety of world leaders in Moscow,” he wrote.
He described Zelensky’s stance as a “verbal provocation.”
These aren’t idle words. When a former president and current deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council speaks of erasing a capital city in retaliation, the world should pay attention.
A Calculated Gamble or a Call for World War?
Some analysts suggest this latest move may be a calculated attempt by Zelensky to scare away foreign leaders from attending Moscow’s showcase event. But others are sounding alarms over what this could spiral into. With world leaders potentially in harm’s way, and Moscow itching for justification to retaliate, the conditions are ripe for a catastrophic misstep.

Zelensky’s warning to international leaders could be read as a subtle message to the West: You’re either with us, or you’re legitimizing Putin. But the risk is real. If anything happens during Victory Day celebrations, the consequences could be seismic—and irreversible.
With no ceasefire in sight, both sides appear dug in, and the rhetoric is now venturing into nuclear territory. The so-called “point of no return” may no longer be theoretical—it may already be behind us.
Is this truly about defending sovereignty, or is it about dragging the West into a broader war? One thing is certain: Ukraine’s latest maneuver has the whole world holding its breath.
