Russian President Vladimir Putin may use the "sacred" and symbolic for Russians Victory Day to officially declare war on Ukraine. This will allow the Russian leadership to move on to full-scale mobilization of the population, which is necessary to make up for military losses. The American television channel CNN reports this with reference to some Western officials. Western officials agree that Putin will use the symbolic meaning and propaganda value of May 9 to either announce martial law or a significant escalation in hostilities in Ukraine. It is not excluded that the Russian president can do both.
