(Reuters) -&nbsp;Ukraine's air&nbsp;defence&nbsp;systems&nbsp;are&nbsp;repelling&nbsp;Russian&nbsp;attacks&nbsp;on the capital, Kyiv's military administration said early on Tuesday, following air raid alerts nationwide.
CONFLICT
* Ukrainian emergency services issued air raid alerts for Kyiv and most of central and eastern&nbsp;Ukraine&nbsp;early on Tuesday, extending from Vynnitsya in the west to all eastern regions and south to Kherson and the Odesa region on the Black Sea.
* Russia celebrates the World&nbsp;War&nbsp;Two anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany, with a parade in Red Square amid tight security after a string of drone&nbsp;attacks, including on the Kremlin citadel, that Russia blamed on&nbsp;Ukraine.
*&nbsp;Russia's&nbsp;mercenary Wagner forces have not yet received the ammunition promised by Moscow, the head of the group said, rowing back from comments hours earlier that initial data showed they had begun to get it.
* The United States plans as soon as Tuesday to announce a new $1.2 billion military aid package for&nbsp;Ukraine&nbsp;that will include air defense&nbsp;systems, ammunition and funds for training, a U.S. official said.
* Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said he will lay out the need to defend&nbsp;Ukraine&nbsp;in the&nbsp;war&nbsp;with Russia when he meets Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, who has been critical of arming the Ukrainians.
* Ukrainian forces shelled the Belgorod region on&nbsp;Russia's&nbsp;border with&nbsp;Ukraine&nbsp;on Monday, injuring at least five people and damaging houses and power lines, the region's governor said.
GRAIN DEAL
* The United Nations said no ships were inspected on Sunday or Monday under a deal allowing the safe Black Sea export of&nbsp;Ukraine&nbsp;grain, which Moscow has threatened to quit on May 18 over obstacles to its own grain and fertilizer exports.
