Ukraine-Russia war: Moscow marks Victory Day as war intensifies

President Vladimir Putin presides over Victory Day celebrations overshadowed by Russia’s battlefield failures in Ukraine, confrontation with the West and fears of new attacks at home. Russia launches about 15 cruise missiles at Ukraine’s capital, the second attack in as many days, and Ukrainian air defence systems shoot all of them down, officials say after air raid alerts blared over most of the country. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen arrives in Kyiv for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says Russia “will prevail” in its fight against what he describes as “imperialists”, state news agency KCNA says about remarks seen to be aimed at Ukraine and its Western supporters, such as the United States. - Subscribe to our channel: - Follow us on Twitter: - Find us on Facebook: - Check our website: @AljazeeraEnglish #Aljazeeraenglish #News #Ukrainewar #Ukraine #Russia #VictoryDay
