I agree that today is Ascension in the west and that that’s likely the relevant date, but keep in mind that the Orthodox Paschal cycle is a week later than the western cycle this year (they’re calculated independently using different rules), so there’s another Ascension next week, and that’s the one that would apply to Russia and Ukraine.
