https://serfdomalley.com/videos/watch/b7937e2f-a9f4-432d-a971-5600a0ac8eb7 Topic 2048 Russia has issued its most serious warning yet urging all diplomats to evacuate Kiev ahead of Victory Day on May 9th, with the Kremlin threatening a massive retaliatory strike on the Ukrainian capital if attacked. Alex Christoforou of The Duran breaks down the explosive statement from Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zacharova, who warned Western diplomatic missions to treat the alert with the utmost seriousness. Meanwhile, Trump's Project Freedom aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz has been put on pause after Saudi Arabia blocked US military use of its bases and airspace, furious at being bypassed entirely before the operation was announced. Back in Europe, Viktor Orban's new government has quietly handed back the seized Ukrainian gold and cash to Zelensky's team, while Ukraine's drones continue crossing NATO airspace in the Baltics landing in Latvia and raising uncomfortable questions for the collective West. Is the world on the edge of a major escalation as May 9th approaches, or will cooler heads prevail?
