On this anniversary of the Russian invasion, Ukraine pays tribute to the resistance of its people, while firmly holding in mind the conviction of a victory to come. "We are strong. We are ready for anything," Zelensky said during an address to the nation in a video posted on social media. The Ukrainian president says he wants to "win this year".

Equally determined, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov promised to strike Russia in "the air, on land, at sea and in cyberspace." "There will be our counter-offensive. We are working hard to prepare it," he warns. "We will never rest until the Russian murderers are punished. By the international tribunal, by the judgment of God or by our soldiers," Zelensky said.



Local ceremonies are planned in Butcha, a suburb of Kiev, scene of a massacre of civilians blamed on Russian troops. "Kharkiv, Cherniguiv, Mariupol, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Gostomel, Volnovakha, Butcha, Irpin, Okhtyrka. Hero cities. The capitals of invincibility," the Ukrainian president honored them.
