Ukrainian authorities reported intense fighting in the eastern Donbas region on Monday, along with renewed bombardments of Odessa and another Russian effort to take Mariupol.The offensive actions came as Moscow marked its celebration of “Victory Day” — a traditional show of military force commemorating the end of World War II — with a speech by President Putin blaming Ukraine for the war.“Openly, preparations were underway for another punitive operation [in Donbas], for an invasion of our historical lands, including Crimea,” Putin said, according to Russian state-run news outlet TASS.
