Putin May 9 may officially declare war on Ukraine – media

Writes about it CNN citing US and Western officials

It is noted that such a move will allow the Russian leader to announce mobilization in order to send large forces to conquer eastern and southern Ukraine.

The official declaration of war on May 9, according to Russian law, will allow Putin to mobilize reserve forces and call for military service, which Russia badly needs amid a growing shortage of manpower for the war in Ukraine, the publication says.

The publication also names other options for the next actions of the Kremlin with reference to the sacred date.

Other options for May 9 include annexing the Lugansk and Donetsk regions, launching an attack on Odessa in the south, or declaring full control of Mariupol.
