CLIENT+ SPECIAL COVERAGE – For Ukraine, the initial wedding anniversary of Russia’s intrusion provided factors for hope. The nation had actually combated the first attack on Kyiv, directed Russian pressures in Kharkiv and Kherson, brought upon incredible degrees of Russian casualties and made a international hero of the comedian-turned-president Volodymyr Zelensky. The nerve and expertise of the Ukrainians, together with Russia’s cruelty, had actually completed the opposite of what Vladimir Putin had actually planned: NATO was galvanized, and Ukraine won a significant investment of economic and armed forces help. One year back, a Ukrainian counteroffensive impended, and some Western authorities and experts recommended Putin and his “special military operation” got on the ropes.
On February 24, 2023, Zelensky noted the wedding anniversary with a oath: “We know that 2023 will be the year of our victory!”
