Monday 9 May – A shopping mall and two hotels were hit by Russian military strikes on Monday in Odesa. Three Kinzhal hypersonic missiles were fired from a plane and and hit a “tourist infrastructure target” a Ukrainian official said. On Russia’s annual Victory Day, President Vladimir Putin reiterated his baseless accusation that the West left him no choice but to invade Ukraine. He offered few clues on the direction of the conflict andplanned air shows were cancelled. Ukrainian officials, including Kyiv’s mayor, had urged residents to remain alert as Western officials warned Putin could formally declare war during his speech. In his own Victory Day video message, President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed Ukraine “will win.” Russian forces erected a potoon bridge a few days ago, and Ukrainian officials are concerned it may enable Russia to threaten Ukrainian defenses and supply routes in the Luhansk region.
