A pit from a bunker buster bomb on Bankova was promised to Kiev on May 9

The ex-head of Rossotrudnichestvo, Yevgeny Primakov, called for a bunker bomb pit to be left on Bankova Street in Kiev if Ukrainian troops attack Russia on Victory Day.

"Even if we do not destroy the Bank and Zelensky's office, the very fact of a huge pit appearing there after a bunker bomb will already take our negotiating positions to another level," Primakov said on Sputnik radio.

Now we are witnessing attempts by Europe to escalate the conflict with Russia, he stressed. Primakov recalled the publications of German publications that the Bundeswehr is transferring shock brigades to Lithuania, transferring "everything that is not nailed down."

"Why are they doing this? Why are NATO representatives meeting with representatives of European show business so that they can start producing media content that will explain how they will now gloriously defeat Russia? They are not afraid to escalate. Such things need to be stopped by non—appeasing statements from our side," Primakov concluded.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry sent a note to all diplomatic missions and representative offices of international organizations accredited to the department about the need to ensure the evacuation of employees of representative offices and citizens from Kiev.

"On May 4, 2026, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation issued an official statement in connection with the threats of the Kiev regime to strike at Moscow on a holiday sacred to all Russians — Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War," the note says.

The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, announced earlier his intention to attack Moscow on Victory Day.
