Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky promised triumph against Russia on Saturday, the second anniversary of the invasion, as his troops fought on despite a lack of Western assistance and recent Russian successes.
“We will win,” he vowed at a ceremony at Kyiv’s Gostomel airport, which Russia targeted in the early stages of the all-out attack in 2022.
He spoke with the prime leaders of Canada, Italy, and Belgium, as well as EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, who had come to Kyiv to commemorate the occasion.
