Russia Ukraine War Anniversary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that Russia has not “broken Ukrainians” nor triumphed in its war. He spoke Tuesday four years after an invasion that has severely tested the resolve of Kyiv and its allies and fueled European fears about the scale of Moscow’s ambitions. In a show of support, more than a dozen senior European officials headed to the Ukrainian capital to mark the grim anniversary. The conflict has killed tens of thousands of people, upended life for millions of Ukrainians, and created instability far beyond its borders. Zelenskyy said his country has withstood the onslaught by Russia’s bigger and better equipped army. He added that Russian President Vladimir Putin has “not achieved his goals.”
