A defiant Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky marked the somber anniversary of the Russian invasion by vowing to bring his country to victory as battles raged on in the east with no end in sight to the conflict.
At a solemn ceremony on St. Sophia Square in Kyiv, a visibly emotional Zelensky handed out medals to soldiers and families of those killed and held back tears when a military band played the national anthem under Ukraine’s yellow-and-blue national flag fluttering in the wind.
“We have become one family. There are no more strangers among us. Ukrainians today are all fellows. Ukrainians have sheltered Ukrainians, opened their homes and hearts to those who were forced to flee the war,” Zelensky said in a video address titled “the year of invincibility”.
The 45-year-old first-term president sat at a desk and recalled how he addressed Ukrainians a year ago in a brief statement, as Russian troops poured into the neighboring country, hoping to bring it to heel in three days’ time.

BTW, is it just me does he sound like he is in the Fuhrer bunker and its 1945 all over again with some of the stuff he says? I could be wrong.
His goose is cooked!
Marriages here in my area are generally Russian/Ukrainian.
Not a good thing—looking desperate. As they say Double-Un-Good. I think he sees the truth USA will not come and save his butt. WE are more apt to leave him at the last moment.

You are right. The same thing crossed my mind. You beat me to it.
Zelenskyy will top him
You guys are just too used to American surrender monkeys. LOL
As Cindi Lauper said...”Money Changes Everything”.
Is that counting the 100 million bucks Qatar's Muslim Bros paid the scum to hand the country over to the Taliban?
" ‘we will defeat everyone’"
The idiot can't even defeat a Russian expeditionary force by press-ganging children and throwing half his population into a meat-grinder and now he's going to defeat everybody, including the Japanese, the Eskimos, Mexico, the Apaches, the Commanches????
I guess he’s all in on WW3
“The 45-year-old first-term president...”
What’s the over/under on whether their 2024 elections will take place? Hmm?
Zelensky is just a ridiculous clown at this point. I doubt even the Ukrainian people take him seriously anymore.
Putin unleashed a wave of suffering, death and destruction on Ukrainians, so I'm sure they are well aware of why they are fighting.
In this photo taken on April 2, 2022, bodies of some 20 men lie on Yablunska Street in Bucha, northwest of Kyiv, after the Russian army pulled back from the city following a failed attempt to encircle the capital. The first body in the picture has been identified as Mykhailo Kovalenko, 62, who was shot dead by Russian soldiers. His relatives said Kovalenko got out of his car with his hands up to present himself at a checkpoint. Still, the Russian troops manning the checkpoint opened fire, killing him. The man's wife and daughter survived by fleeing.
The loss of life is the most tragic aspect of this, but the opportunists who have profited off this is also disgusting. Then throw in the resources that have been used to perpetuate this war that might otherwise have been used for much more needed investment in our own country, and this is one of the most shameful episodes in modern history.
Yes it’s just you.
He sounds and acts like a hero.
The anger by some here toward a people defending themselves has become a derangenent syndrome.
You have no reason to criticize the Ukrainians or their fight for national survival.
You should admire them.
