As Putin is rumored to undergo surgery and Russia’s war on Ukraine is faltering, the May 9 celebration takes on a greater significance.

It’s been six weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine and the war is entering an entirely new phase that may grow more dangerous for Ukraine.

When Vladimir Putin speaks of de-Nazification, what he really means is to Russify — to return to the age of the Tsars circa the 1860s.

Every day Zelenskyy remains in office is another day that adds to Ukrainian national confidence to resist Putin's attacks.
