May 9th is shown as a possible expiration date war in Ukraine the British.
According to the SKAI correspondent in London, Thanassis Gavos, the reports come from a post of a Ukrainian armed forces official on social media, who stated that the Russian army in Ukraine is making a propaganda effort to pass and impose .
One of them is the need to end the war – successfully for Russia – by May 9, and that is why an effort is being made by the forces on the front line to raise their morale. Of course, May 9 is not a coincidence for the Russians. It is a day of victory, on which they celebrate their victory against Nazi Germany in World War II with traditionally a very large military parade in Red Square.
Thus, Putin would like to present two messages of victory, a historic one and a more recent one.
According to yesterday’s briefing from Moscow Russian forces are now concentrated in Donbas and the British estimate that if the Russians finally succeed in creating a strip of land in eastern Ukraine, including Mariupol, the Russian president will declare victory.
On the other hand, British officials say that the redefinition of the targets by Moscow shows that they admit that things have not turned out as they would like, but are a reservation.
Today, the British Ministry of Defense states in its today’s update that the bombing of besieged cities will continue. However, the Russian announcement is in line with the analysis that due to the major problems facing the Russians in supply, they change tactics and focus on their goals one by one, mainly in southern and southeastern Ukraine.
