Both of them promised a few days ago to come to see Putin again on 9 May.



Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo "suddenly fell ill" before attending the 9 May parade in Moscow.

In particular, the media reported that Vucic became ill in the United States.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic fell ill during a visit to the United States. He had to interrupt his work trip and return to Belgrade," Tanjug reported.

In addition, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo has cancelled his work programme several times in recent days. For example, he did not participate in the May Day celebrations in Slovakia.

Both had planned to visit Moscow, the parade on 9 May. Both were sharply criticised for this in Europe. They were threatened with various sanctions. Both of them fell ill. Both in early May, - wrote in Telegram rospropagandist Sergei Markov.

We will remind, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky said the day before that Ukraine can not be responsible for what is happening in Russia, commenting on the issue of safety of foreigners who will go to Moscow on 9 May.

While talking to journalists, he said that the Russian side could arrange some provocations to shift the blame on Ukraine.

Our position is very simple to all the countries that have travelled or are travelling to 9 May: we cannot be held responsible for what is happening on the territory of the Russian Federation. They are providing you with security and therefore we will not give you any guarantees. Because we do not know what Russia will do on these dates," Interfax-Ukraine quoted him as saying.

Zelensky added that he does not recommend foreigners to attend the parade on 9 May in Moscow.

As for Putin's "ceasefire," Zelensky called it a "theatrical production" and said he insists on a 30-day ceasefire.

An unconditional ceasefire is the model that the Americans proposed. We are following it. From this date or another - preferably sooner. Yes, let's try 30 days. Why a 30-day ceasefire? Because it is impossible to agree on anything in three, five, seven days," Zelensky said.
