People look at a replica of the Victory banner fluttering in the wind over the central square in Melitopol, Zaporizhzhia region, in territory under Russian military control, southeastern Ukraine, May 1, 2022. Some in the West think Russian President Vladimir Putin may use the Victory Day on May 9 when Russia celebrates the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II to officially declare that war is underway in Ukraine and announce a mobilization – the claim rejected by the Kremlin.
