Russia Victory Day also attacks southern part, etc. Europe and the United States accelerate support for Ukraine

Russia, which continues to invade Ukraine, is expected to continue to intensify its offensive by attacking southern Odesa and other areas on the 9th, which was Victory Day.

On the other hand, the United States is poised to accelerate support such as enacting a law to quickly lend military supplies to Ukraine, and the possibility that the situation will be prolonged is further increasing.

In Russia, on the 9th, the former Soviet Union defeated Nazi Germany in World War II on the 1977 victory day, and President Putin justified the military invasion of Ukraine in a speech. He declared the "war situation" pointed out by some and did not mention mass mobilization of the people.

On the 9th, a missile attack by Russian troops in the port city of Odesa in southern Ukraine reported that one person was killed and five were injured.

President Michelle of the EU-European Union and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal of Ukraine are staying in Odesa for a meeting, and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal posted on Twitter that "the meeting was interrupted by a missile attack and we evacuated to air defense together."

In an interview with NHK, Maxim Zorin, commander of the Azov Battalion, which continues to fight Russian troops based in the ironworks in eastern Mariupol, said, "The Russian troops tried to rush with all of their military equipment." He said he was hit hard on the 9th.

Regarding the movement of the Russian army, the U.S. think tank "Institute for the Study of War" said on the 9th that "it is likely that we are preparing to resume the attack in the eastern state and continue to gather troops near the border." ..

Under these circumstances, on the 9th in the United States, a high-ranking Pentagon official announced that most of the guns had arrived at the site as military aid to Ukraine.

In addition, the "Lend-Lease Law = Arms Lending Law" was enacted to enable the swift lending of military supplies to Ukraine, and President Biden, who signed it, said, "This is a very important time."

With the growing view that Russia will continue its attacks with the aim of gaining full control of the two eastern states, Europe and the United States are accelerating the movement of military aid, and the possibility of a prolonged situation is further increasing.
