May 5 is the anniversary of Russia's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. Ukraine has designated May 9 as "Europe Day" to commemorate the unity of Europe.
Russian and Ukrainian troops are fighting in various parts of Ukraine, and many civilians have fled the country. We will update the situation in Ukraine on the 10th (Japan time), including the status of the battle and the diplomacy of the countries concerned.
