Today President Biden is visiting a Lockheed Martin plant in Alabama that manufactures Javelin anti-tank missiles that the U.S. is supplying to Ukraine. His trip comes after the Pentagon said Russian President Vladimir Putin could formally declare war on Ukraine as soon as May 9 — the Russian holiday known as “Victory Day,” which commemorates the Soviet Union’s defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945. A declaration of war would further free up Putin to mobilize Russia’s reserve forces and draft more conscripts. So far Putin has only referred to the invasion as a “special military operation.” We’ll have the latest on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine later in the broadcast.
