Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, Andriy Kovalenko, responded sarcastically to Putin’s proposal for a “ceasefire” on May 9, noting that the Russian leader appears to doubt the effectiveness of Russia’s air defense so much that he’s worried about holding his parade

Kovalenko wrote about this on Telegram.

He remarked that the Kremlin leader doesn’t even trust his own air defenses enough to feel secure during the May 9 celebrations—and fears that many foreign guests might not show up.

"At the same time, Putin isn't stopping the war—he intends to keep it going. What a sick mind he has," Kovalenko added.

Previously, the Center for Countering Disinformation's chief also stated that anything short of a comprehensive ceasefire is just manipulation by Russia for both military and informational purposes. He added that it’s also an attempt to hide Moscow’s intentions to continue the war.

  • The Ukrainian delegation at the talks in London on April 23 wants to discuss a 30-day ceasefire, not the framework of U.S. President Donald Trump's "peace plan".
