Another night covers the tormented Ukraine. The anti-aircraft sirens sound and call the thirty-second day of the war like this, the Ukrainians take refuge in the cities at night and whoever can have left the country or are trying. Joe Biden, who has left for the USA, after his trip to Brussels and Warsaw, has pointed the finger decisively at Vladimir Putin and calls him a butcher. He says he can’t stay in the Kremlin, triggering Moscow’s reply: “He doesn’t decide.” The White House needs to adjust and rectify. The American president relaunches via Twitter: «The denazification of Ukraine is a cynical and obscene lie of Putin». A new assault has been repelled by Odessa, while Kiev remains under daily attack, the explosions are getting closer and closer to Lviv and the mayor of Cherniv screams in pain at him: “The city is completely destroyed.” And it was yesterday’s news that the Russians would have changed their strategy by transforming the Donbass into the main target. There would also be a date that would close the invasion by Moscow: 9 May.
Meanwhile, while British intelligence warns that the launch of bombs and missiles will continue all over Ukraine, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, returns to ask for weapons: “It is impossible to save Mariupol without other tanks and planes”, denounces in a video on Facebook: “Ukraine cannot shoot down Russian missiles with rifles and machine guns,” he said, stating that he was “in constant contact with the defenders of Mariupol”. Adding: “I would like those who have been deciding for a month already whether to give us the planes had at least 1% of their courage.” Tomorrow there should also be a speech by him on the night of the Oscars, about which Sean Penn warns: “If he is not allowed to speak, the ceremony must be boycotted.”
