Ukrainian diplomat Valeriy Chaly believes it is necessary for the Ukrainian Defense Forces to now launch as many air strikes as possible on military depots in Russia, which have been exposed because most air defense systems were withdrawn to Moscow to protect the parade on May 9.
Chaly spoke about this on the air of "Apostrophe TV".
The diplomat called Vladimir Putin's announcement of a "truce" for several days a manipulation.
"The official position of Ukraine is 30 days. And we are ready for this. By the way, this did not arise immediately. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did this at the request of the US President Donald Trump. An unconditional ceasefire was disadvantageous to us at that time," Chaly emphasized.
According to him, Putin's "truce" for May 8-10 is needed by the Russian dictator to cover Moscow when foreign guests arrive for the parade on May 9.
"They brought more than 260 anti-aircraft systems, anti-missile systems to Moscow and thus exposed their airfields, exposed some warehouses. And what should Ukraine do? Strike these warehouses now, strike this. Because every missile that is now saved will hit children in Sumy, in Kharkiv, in Kyiv, in all cities of Ukraine," Chaly noted.
As Apostrophe reported, on the night of May 7, several regions of Russia were attacked by drones . Explosions were heard in Saransk, Tula, and the Moscow region. Strategically important objects for the enemy were hit - a fiber optic systems plant, defense-industrial complex enterprises, and airfields.
