Anouar El-Anouani, a representative of the EU's foreign policy service, noted that Moscow's threats are seen as part of the conflict's escalation. According to him, the European Union's position regarding support for Ukraine and presence in Kyiv will not change.

Brussels also accused Russia of attempting to shift responsibility for the war onto Ukraine. The EU recalled that Russian attacks had previously damaged diplomatic missions in Kyiv, including the representation of the European Union.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova announced that Moscow had called on foreign diplomatic missions to evacuate staff from Kyiv in advance. According to her, Russia could deliver a "retaliatory strike" if Ukraine violates the unilateral ceasefire announced by Moscow for May 8 and 9.

In response, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Kyiv was ready to cease fire earlier, from May 6, if Russia also did so. After this occurred, he accused Moscow of violating the ceasefire regime and warned that Ukraine would respond "symmetrically".
