“Our military will not artificially adjust their actions to any date, including Victory Day,” Lavrov said in response to a question whether there is any hope that the special operation in Ukraine will end by May 9.

He noted that the pace of the special operation in Ukraine depends "on the need to minimize any risks for the civilian population and Russian military personnel."
