Would make it more interesting to watch
Didn’t he also say he is doing a cease fire?
No wonder Putin is taking a pass on attending. It would make his time and location line up publicly.
Would killing him be bad or good?
Probably bad.
The reason why I doubt that Ukraine would attack Moscow on Victory Day is that the risk of killing innocents would be high, which could (would) make Russians rally around the flag.
I do like the threat though. Putin and Russia shouldn’t be confident that Ukraine won’t attack, which causes a dilemma for them.
I agree that the threat is a smart move. Either Russia command responds, showing the population that everything is not going as well as they pretend. Or they do nothing, in which case they have deal with the backlash of ‘Oh, why did you do nothing, they told you they would do this’ if Ukraine attacks.
A power struggle within Russian command would almost certainly mess things up for the Russians on the battlefield
Only one way to find out, I guess
Everyone loves a parade.
