What may?

Hi what does it mean?

"In a war, there are many moments for compassion and tender action.
There are many moments for ruthless action, what is often called ruthless,
what may, in many circumstances, be only clarity."

Thanks

Thanks, i did a little search and as i understood it's can be mean something like "no matter what might happen", of course it's about "come what may", could it be mean same as "what may"?

No, that is not it at all. It is not a collocated phrase; it is merely a relative pronoun plus the auxiliary verb 'may' as a part of the verb phrase 'may be'.
