Bloody May 9: will Putin decide to officially declare war on Ukraine/Getty Images

< strong _ngcontent-sc86="">I don't think Putin will declare war on Ukraine on May 9th. Firstly, if they declare war, then this is their admission that they lost the so-called special operation and demand more involvement of the civilian population, because the Russian military failed.

The covert mobilization goes on both in ORDLO and in the Russian Federation, they mobilize “Cossacks”, cadets, members of private military companies and ordinary conscripts as volunteers.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine will launch a counteroffensive

Secondly, I think that nothing new will happen. The Armed Forces of Ukraine hold the line and also go on a counteroffensive in some directions.

After May 9, the invaders will try to activate the southern direction and will continue to shell Ukraine.

Everything is “according to plan”

It is on May 9 that they will pass off as a victory that they are “the only ones in the world” to oppose the attempts of the West to destroy Russia, and they will say that they are at war not with Ukraine, but with the countries of the West and NATO. They will also say that everything is going according to plan.
