The escalation of tensions in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, marked by the Russian attempt to capture the city of Khasiv Yar in time for the May 9 Victory Parade, looms as a critical new phase in the war. Volodymyr Zelensky said he was ready to face this new challenge, with the military support of the main international allies, from the United States to Great Britain. «Russia wants to mobilize 300 thousand fighters to be sent to fight in Ukraine by June 1st and before that, by May 9th, the day on which the Russians celebrate the victory over Nazism in the Second World War, they aim to occupy the town of Chasiv Yar, in Donetsk». Lo stated the Ukrainian president in recent days, commenting on the US Chamber’s green light for war aid to Kiev. «I was recently in the region and talked to the fighters, who do not have enough equipment to repel Russian reconnaissance drones. There is also a shortage of artillery shells. I expect that we will be able to resist the arrival of weapons in time and will be able to repel the enemy“, he added.
