It's been four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine as the country keeps fighting and Europe shows support but struggles to stay united. On Tuesday, more than a dozen senior European officials arrived in Kyiv to back Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his country's people. Zelenskyy says Ukraine has defended its independence and statehood, and that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not broken Ukrainians or achieved his goals. While Putin did not get the quick and overwhelming victory he had hoped for, the cost has been high on both sides in blood and treasure. And on this fourth anniversary of the largest conventional war on its soil since World War II, there is no peace is sight.
