The Kremlin issued a statement attacking Ukraine's refusal of a three-day ceasefire during World War II victory celebrations, stating that 'this shows the Ukrainian government is based on neo-Nazism.' According to the statement, 'Putin's proposal was a test to evaluate Kyiv's readiness for peace.' The Kremlin also addressed reports that Ukrainian soldiers would participate in World War II remembrance ceremonies in Britain, calling it 'sacrilege.'
