National leaders gather in Kyiv to highlight continued support

I am focusing on security today and not in 20 years' time. I don't plan to be in power for 10 years,

Zelensky told the forum, stating his readiness to step down if it means peace for Ukraine

Yeah, he will accept it,

Trump told reporters at the White House

Unfortunately, the Russian unprovoked war continues and Ukraine still needs international support more than ever,

Ivanchov said

Today we mark three years of Russian barbaric invasion of Ukraine and unprecedented of a large-scale war that [Vladimir] Putin unleashed on the European continent,

Serhiy Ivanchov, the consulate general of Ukraine in New York, told the crowd

We have gathered to remember a very solemn day that many of us will never be able to wrench from our hearts, hearts that many of us will never be able to put together,

Andrij Dobriansky, director of communications and media for the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America said

I’m very proud of my country that we have withstood for three years,

said Wilson, who moved to New York 10 years ago

The evening of February 23 I was going about my usual chores when I glanced at the television,

said Taran, who moved to New York eight years ago

Mr President, I voted three times for you. I am a Republican, but Mr President, Putin is the dictator, not Zelenskyy. Russia started the war, not Ukraine,

he told the crowd

And so it began, ... the war that upended millions of lives in a matter of hours, Friday morning, and the war that we as Ukrainian Americans have been fighting in our own way ever since”.

The G7 should take more risk, including the oil price cap, sanctioning Russia's oil giants, and going after banks that are enabling the evasion of sanctions."

British prime minister Keir Starmer

More than 12,600 civilians killed, with many more injured. Entire communities reduced to rubble. Hospitals and schools destroyed,

Kaja KallaseU foreign policy chief

You can discuss whatever you want with Putin. But if it comes to Europe or Ukraine, then Ukraine and Europe also have to agree to this deal,

Kallas told reporters in Brussels, where she was leading a meeting of EU foreign ministers

For a fair peace, the country that is under attack must be part of peace negotiations,

he wrote

Volodymyr Zelenskyypresident

And, President Trump, we would really like to hear from you because all our people, all our families, are very worried. Will there be support from America? Will America be the leader of the free world?”

Zelenskyy said

The autocrats around the world are watching very carefully whether there’s any impunity if you violate international borders or invade your neighbor, or if there is true deterrence,

she said

I’m much sadder about not being able to go to the places of my childhood,

Mykola told Al Jazeera

The latter is way more horrible to me.”

Kucherenko decided

Russia’s war against Ukraine began in 2014, with the annexation of Crimea and military aggression in eastern Ukraine. Yet it wasn’t until 2022 that the global community started calling it what it truly is: Russia’s war against Ukraine, rather than framing it as a “Ukrainian crisis,” as had been the norm for the preceding eight years. This mischaracterisation laid the groundwork for the war’s current scale.”

Then, she told US representatives and senators

Poor thing, she was born during a war and died during a war,

Olha said

It seemed there would be no tomorrow, there would only be that day with songs, dances, dead-drunk people and their chatter to Russian folk songs,

she recalled
