Selenskyy’s Bold Gesture on Victory DayOn May 9, 2026, Selenskyy authorized Russia’s parade and announced a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner swap amid ongoing fighting.
- Selenskyy issued a clear decree permitting Russia’s Victory Day parade and specifically excluded Red Square from Ukrainian military actions.
- This move acts as a deliberate taunt, exposing Putin’s concern over Ukrainian drone threats and Russia’s fragility.
- Ukraine’s drone campaign, prioritized since late 2024, has caused significant damage to Russian infrastructure and inflicted substantial military casualties.
- Despite the arranged short-term ceasefire, hostilities persisted, alongside the announcement of a large-scale prisoner exchange.
In consideration of numerous requests for humanitarian reasons, which were explained during negotiations with the American side on May 8, 2026, I hereby order to permit the holding of a parade in the city of Moscow (Russian Federation) on May 9, 2026.— President Volodymyr Zelenskyy – Decree authorizing a parade in Moscow
