Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin has failed to achieve his war objectives four years after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
In a video address marking the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky asserted that Vladimir Putin has not met his military goals over the past four years. Zelensky emphasized that Putin has not succeeded in breaking the Ukrainian spirit or securing a victory in the war. He reiterated Ukraine's commitment to maintaining its sovereignty and working towards a lasting peace, one that is respectful and agreeable to Ukrainians, rather than simply an agreement to be signed.
Zelensky’s remarks come exactly four years after Russia's attempted quick siege of Kyiv, showcasing the resilience of the Ukrainian people against the invading forces. He noted that behind his words lies the courage, hard work, and perseverance of millions of Ukrainians who have endured the ongoing conflict since the invasion began on February 24, 2022. This reinforced message serves not only as a testament to Ukraine's military resistance but also as a call to remember and honor the sacrifices made during this prolonged struggle.
Furthermore, President Zelensky highlighted the importance of a peace agreement that acknowledges the desires and rights of Ukrainians, rejecting any notion that compromises Ukrainian interests. His focus on unity and determination signals to both domestic and international audiences that Ukraine is not surrendering and remains resolute in achieving justice and a sustainable peace, despite the prolonged nature of the conflict against Russian aggression.
