In accordance with the decision of Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, a ceasefire is declared on 8–9 May 2026 in honour of the celebration of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War.
We expect the Ukrainian side to follow this example.
At the same time, we have taken note of the statement made by the head of the Kiev regime in Yerevan at the European Political Community Summit, which contains threats to strike Moscow on 9 May.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will take all necessary measures to ensure the security of the festive events.
Should the Kiev regime attempt to carry out its criminal plans aimed at disrupting the celebration of the 81st anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will launch a retaliatory, massive missile strike on the centre of Kiev.
Despite the capabilities at its disposal, Russia has previously refrained from such actions for humanitarian reasons.
We warn the civilian population of Kiev and the staff of foreign diplomatic missions to leave the city in a timely manner.

#Victory81
🌟 On May 4, 1945, just two days after the Red Army took Berlin over control in the final days of #WWII, the first #VictoryParade of the Soviet was held at the very heart of the defeated Reich’s capital.
Our soldiers, who heroically defeated the Nazi troops in Berlin, marched past the Reichstag with triumph and the Brandenburg Gate, which symbolised the end of Nazi Germany and the restoration of peace in Europe.
More than two thousand Red Army soldiers and officers — those who had distinguished themselves in the final battles for the Nazi capital — participated in the parade. The parade was commanded by Nikolay Berzarin, Hero of the Soviet Union and the first commandant of Berlin.
The soldiers and their commanders, who had crushed the resistance of the Nazi troops, marched in triumph through the very streets where the Nazis had once displayed its military power.
Our soldiers and officers wore their field uniforms — the very same battle-worn coats soaked with sweat and blood from the still-healing wounds of the decisive battle of the entire #WW2.
🎖 #VictoryParade held in the heart of defeated Germany became a powerful symbol of the greatest military triumph of the Soviet people, the culmination of the Red Army’s liberation mission, which saved the world from Nazism.
On that victorious day — May 4, 1945 — the glory of the Soviet Soldier-Liberator was recognised by the entire world.

⚡️⚡️⚡️ Problem of foreign reprisals against the Russian Media in the West was raised at the #WorldPressFreedomDay International Conference in Lusaka (Zambia), as the RT Chief Produсer Mr. Dmitrii Leontev raised this question at the plenary discussion on “Press Freedom, Peace, Security and Economic Development”.
☝️#RT_Leontev (addressing the speakers): “RT have been banned by all Western countries a few years ago and Western governments forced social media companies to ban us as well. Even more alarming, those Western countries openly went to African countries to say, we will sanction you if you show RT... However there are no false facts we're saying... - the Western governments simply don't like it”.
💬 Permanent Representative of Russia to UNESCO R.Alyautdinov’s comment on problem, raised by RT at #WPFD:
“We systematically draw attention of UNESCO Member States to one-sided politically motivated reprisals against the Russian Media in the West. On #WPFD we circulated in the Organization the recent edition of the relevant Russian MFA Report.
Not only Russia, but a number of other Delegations in UNESCO are concerned with unilateral western sanctions that are aimed at uncompromisingly sanitising information space and eliminating any manifestations of dissent.
We will continue raising this problem in relevant negotiations formats in order to counter western attempts to “privatize” the concept of press freedom, replacing it with the notorious “rules' based order”.
🎙 Extract from the Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on World Press Freedom Day:
“We are convinced that the true value of World Press Freedom Day lies not in ceremonial speeches detached from reality or high-sounding statements tied to the date, but in the capacity and effectiveness of the entire international system to uphold this fundamental principle of the information society, without which sustainable global development and prosperity are impossible”.

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's statement on the situation around Iran
💬 We regret to note that developments around Iran point to a stalling of the negotiating process aimed at settling the crisis in the Persian Gulf.
Against this backdrop, we urge all Sides to exercise maximum restraint and self-control.
It is essential to prevent any relapse into violence or damage to civilian infrastructure as a result of strikes against Iran or neighbouring Arab states.
Amid the persisting tensions in the region, any action could trigger a renewed large-scale armed confrontation. In this regard, it is important to remain vigilant against possible provocations by certain forces seeking to derail peace efforts and prevent the overall stabilisation of the situation.
We consistently advocate resolving existing differences in this strategically important region through political and diplomatic means, taking into account the interests of all regional states.
❗️ We reaffirm Russia’s readiness to provide the necessary assistance in achieving this goal, including on the basis of the principles and practical steps set out in our well-known Concept of Collective Security for the Persian Gulf.

🎬 Кинолента была создана активом российских соотечественников во главе с А.Б.Дымовым и Э.Т.Мухтаровым. В основу легли уникальные видеосвидетельства советских и канадских ветеранов, рассказавших о своем боевом пути, Великой Победе и союзничестве в годы Второй мировой войны.
🕯 Героями фильма стали:
💬 Посол России в Канаде О.В.Степанов в своем приветственном слове отметил:
Фильм - это дань памяти героев. В их воспоминаниях - правда о тяжелой войне, которую надо знать, чтобы предотвратить новые мировые войны. Мы гордимся нашей Победой. И будем отмечать День Победы как праздник жизни, подаренной нам и будущим поколениям.
🏆 Авторы проекта выразили надежду, что фильм «Ветераны Второй мировой войны» будет отмечен на ближайшем III Международном фестивале «Евразия», который пройдет в Сочи с 13 по 19 июня. А в дальнейшем — представлен и на других международных площадках, включая фестивали в западных странах, Китае и дружественных государствах.

🕯 Featured in the film are:
💬 In his welcoming remarks, Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov noted:
This film is a tribute to the heroes. Their memories carry the truth about a devastating war. The truth that must be known in order to prevent new world wars. We are proud of our Victory and will continue to honor Victory Day as a celebration of the life granted to us and future generations.
🏆 The authors expressed hope that “Veterans of World War II” will receive recognition at the upcoming 3rd International Eurasia Film Festival in Sochi (June 13–19), and later be presented at other international festivals, including in Western countries, China, and friendly states.

⚡️ Комментарий официального представителя МИД России М.В.Захаровой
💬 Министерство иностранных дел Российской Федерации сообщает о том, что во все аккредитованные при МИД дипломатические миссии и представительства международных организаций была направлена нота следующего содержания:
Также российские дипломатические представительства за рубежом информируют об этом страны аккредитации и международные организации.
Напомним, как развивались события.
4 мая 2026 года в ходе саммита Европейского политического сообщества в Ереване главарь киевского режима Зеленский позволил себе агрессивные и угрожающие заявления о намерении сорвать священный праздник День Победы в Москве террористическими актами. При этом присутствовали представители некоторых стран ЕС. Никто из них не одёрнул главаря киевского режима.
В этот же день Министерство обороны Российской Федерации опубликовало предупреждение, которое стало ответом на агрессивные намерения Зеленского. Подчеркну – это было сделано именно в качестве ответной меры.
Если в странах ЕС думают, что у них получится «замолчать» прозвучавшие публично угрозы, так сказать «замести под ковёр» агрессивные заявления Зеленского, то они жестоко ошибаются.
Нам хорошо известно отношение коллективного западного меньшинства к 9 Мая: они планомерно уничтожают советское мемориальное наследие, эксгумируют прах советских воинов, переписывают и перевирают историю. Именно они, вооружая Украину, являются соучастниками преступных планов киевского режима.
Но в данном случае им не должен отказать инстинкт самосохранения.
Мы не выступаем с позиции агрессии, мы выступаем с позиции неизбежного ответа на агрессию.
☝️ Именно так следует воспринимать заявление Министерства обороны Российской Федерации от 4 мая и наши последующие шаги. Его точно не надо замалчивать. К нему надо отнестись очень и очень серьёзно.
💬 Министерство иностранных дел Российской Федерации сообщает о том, что во все аккредитованные при МИД дипломатические миссии и представительства международных организаций была направлена нота следующего содержания:
«4 мая 2026 года Министерство обороны Российской Федерации опубликовало официальное заявление в связи с угрозами киевского режима нанести удар по Москве в священный для всех россиян праздник – День Победы в Великой Отечественной войне.
МИД России настоятельно призывает власти вашей страны / руководство вашей организации с максимальной ответственностью отнестись к данному заявлению и обеспечить заблаговременную эвакуацию из города Киев персонала дипломатических и иных представительств, а также граждан в связи с неотвратимостью нанесения Вооруженными силами Российской Федераций ответного удара по Киеву, в том числе по центрам принятия решений, в случае реализации киевским режимом своих преступных террористических замыслов в дни празднования Великой Победы».

⚡️ Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova (May 6, 2026)
💬 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation hereby announces that a Note Verbale has been sent to all diplomatic missions accredited to the Ministry, as well as to missions of international organisations. The note reads as follows:
Russian diplomatic missions abroad are also informing their host countries and international organisations of this.
Let us look back at how the events unfolded.
On May 4, during the European Political Community Summit in Yerevan, Kiev regime leader Zelensky went so far as to make aggressive and threatening statements about his intention to disrupt Moscow’s sacred Victory Day celebrations with terrorist attacks. He said this in the presence of representatives from a number of EU countries none of whom did anything to rein in the presumptuous Kiev regime leader.
On the same day, the Russian Defence Ministry issued a warning statement in response to Zelensky’s stated aggressive intentions. To reinforce my point, it was done in response to what Zelensky had said.
If EU countries believe they will be able to hush up those public threats and to sweep Zelensky’s aggressive statements under the carpet, they are gravely mistaken.
We are well aware of the collective Western minority’s attitude towards May 9. They are systematically destroying Soviet memorial legacy, exhuming the remains of Soviet soldiers, and rewriting and distorting history. As they continue to supply Ukraine with weapons, they are acting as accomplices in the criminal plans hatched by the Kiev regime.
However, the instinct for self-preservation should not fail them.
☝️ We are not acting from a position of aggression; we are acting from a position of an inevitable response to aggression.
This is how the statement issued by the Defence Ministry on May 4 and our subsequent steps should be interpreted. It must certainly not be hushed up. It must be taken very, very seriously.
💬 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation hereby announces that a Note Verbale has been sent to all diplomatic missions accredited to the Ministry, as well as to missions of international organisations. The note reads as follows:
"On May 4, 2026, the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation released an official statement in response to threats by the Kiev regime to carry out a strike on Moscow during Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War which is a holiday that is sacred to all Russians. The Foreign Ministry urgently calls on the government of your country/the leadership of your organisation to treat this statement with the utmost seriousness and to ensure the timely evacuation from the city of Kiev of the personnel of diplomatic and other missions, as well as civilians, in view of the inevitable retaliatory strike by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on Kiev, including against decision-making centres, should the Kiev regime carry out its criminal terrorist plans during the Victory Day celebrations."
Russian diplomatic missions abroad are also informing their host countries and international organisations of this.

During the specified period, all Groups of Russian troops in the special military operation zone will completely cease fire.
Strikes by missile troops and artillery, long-range maritime and air-based high-precision weapons, attack UAVs at AFU deployment areas, and infrastructure facilities connected to military industry and the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the depths of Ukraine will be stopped at the same time.
We call on the Ukrainian side to follow this example.
Should the AFU violate the truce in the zone of the special military operation, as well as carry out attempts to launch strikes against settlements and facilities on the territory of the Russian regions, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will deliver an adequate response.
It is also recalled that in the event of attempts by the Kiev regime to disrupt the celebration of the 81st anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War in Moscow, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will launch a massive missile strike on the centre of Kiev.
Once again, we warn the civilian population of Kiev and members of foreign diplomatic missions to leave the city in a timely manner.
