Zelenskyy said Ukraine does not recommend visits as Russia and Ukraine trade ceasefire proposals and threats around Victory Day.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged foreign leaders to avoid Moscow during Victory Day, describing the Kremlin's ceasefire proposal as a ruse to hold a military parade "calmly" before resuming attacks on Ukraine.

- President Donald Trump proposed "a little bit of a ceasefire" in the war against Ukraine during an April phone call with Vladimir Putin, providing earlier context to current tensions.
