Just after signing an agreement with the US, Ukraine hinted at attacking the Red Square parade. What is Zelenskyy trying to do?
On May 1st, Ukraine confirmed that the US-Ukraine mineral resources agreement was finally signed. The signing of this agreement does not mean that the US will continue to support Ukraine in fighting against Russia, but Ukraine immediately released a dangerous signal. That is, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy openly hinted at launching an attack on Russia's upcoming Red Square parade. It was reported that many foreign leaders, including heads of state from Brazil, Kazakhstan, Serbia, and others, would attend the Victory Day parade on May 9th.
Putin announced a ceasefire for 3 days during the Victory Day events, but Zelenskyy was dissatisfied with this ceasefire, which is basically the fundamental reason for his threat to attack Ukraine's Red Square parade. Zelenskyy meaningfully stated that Russia is only worried about whether the parade can be held - which is certainly correct. Clearly, Zelenskyy is very dissatisfied with the current situation, and he intends to disrupt Russia by threatening to attack the Red Square parade. However, this threat itself is also dangerous; if Ukraine carries out such an attack, it will inevitably face the strongest retaliation from Russia.
What exactly does Zelenskyy want to do? In fact, Zelenskyy is very aware of his own situation. Signing the mineral resources agreement with the US is equivalent to betraying the country. If he cannot perform well on the issue of a ceasefire with Russia, then it will be difficult for him to have a good end. The Ukrainian election is bound to take place, and whether he can win the election will be the key to his safety. After signing the sell-out agreement with the US, Zelenskyy issued a strong threat, which is clearly more for self-preservation. Of course, whether Zelenskyy really attacks the Red Square parade must be carefully considered.
