Russia Hawks Take Control, Victory Day Stakes Are High. Most Dangerous Moment of the Conflict
The Duran: Episode 2514Russia has just issued its most serious military warning of the entire conflict and the world should be paying close attention. On The Duran, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down the explosive situation unfolding around Russia's Victory Day ceasefire, after Ukraine launched a massive wave of 260–300 drones deep into Russian territory in direct defiance of Moscow's ultimatum. The Russian Defense Ministry not Putin, not Lavrov, but the military itself has formally stated that a Ukrainian attack on the Victory Day parade in Moscow will trigger a retaliatory strike on central Kiev, with Western diplomats explicitly warned they are not safe. Zelensky appears to be gambling that Russia is bluffing, while Germany and NATO back his play, but inside the Kremlin, the hawks in the Defense Ministry, Foreign Ministry, and intelligence agencies are now firmly in control, leaving Putin increasingly isolated in his pursuit of diplomacy with Trump. Is this the moment the Russia-Ukraine conflict spirals into something far more dangerous and is Zelensky deliberately trying to force an escalation that pulls the West back in?
