Russia is regrouping its troops in Ukraine to strike again and end the war with a 9 May parade.
This was announced by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov on the Rada TV channel.
"Putin is not postponing the task of the destruction of our country. He is only now reformatting his troops in order to continue to strike at our country ... I would like to appeal to all not to rejoice today that someone allegedly leaves them (Kyiv and Chernihiv region - LB.ua) voluntarily ", - Danilov noted.
He stressed that Ukrainians "need to defend their country and not to relax."
Of course, they (Russia - LB.ua.) need a victory as always. We remember that they have a sacred day "the 9th of May." And by May 9, Putin aims to have ended this war with the "victory parade". We have to understand that we have a lot of fighting ahead of us. The situation today is not as happy as we would like, "the head of the National Security and Defense Council added.
General Staff reported that occupiers withdrew separate divisions from the Kyiv and Chernihiv areas and regrouped troops. Probably, this is done to create strike groups in the Slobozhansk and Donetsk directions.
