Analyst: European Commission’s Truce Remarks Endorse Zelensky’s Threat to Attack Moscow

Analyst Zoltan Koshkovich of the Center for Fundamental Rights has stated that recent comments by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on a potential truce between Russia and Ukraine constitute an endorsement of President Vladimir Zelensky’s threats to attack Moscow’s Victory Day parade on May 9.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) dated May 8, Koshkovich wrote: “This statement can only be regarded as a carte blanche for Zelensky to attack the parade. This can lead to terrible consequences, because Viktor Orban, who could act as a deterrent, is no longer there.”
