As Ukraine war hits 1,000 days, uncertainty for what lies ahead

Russia tried to wipe Ukraine off the map, and for 1,000 days Russia has failed because of Ukraine’s resistance and the sacrifice of your heroes,

1,000 days together. 1,000 days of Ukraine,

the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted in a video, recalling the key moments of the wartime struggles and pain, and the support Ukraine received

Ukraine will never submit to the occupiers, and the Russian military will be punished for violating international law,

a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kyiv declared

Dmitry Peskovkremlin spokesman

The military operation against Kyiv continues … and will be completed,

Dmitry Peskov told reporters

Volodymyr Zelenskyypresident

Every new Russian strike only confirms Putin’s true intentions. He wants the war to continue, he is not interested in talking about peace,

Zelenskyy said

He sees these attempts [to start talks] as a weakness. And what we need now is not weakness and appeasement. We need strength,

she said

On one hand, it proves Ukrainian bravery in the face of brutal Russian aggression. […] On the other hand, this number proves the failure of the international community, including this esteemed council, to stop wars of aggression and atrocities,

he said

Dmitry Peskovkremlin spokesman

Aggression by a non-nuclear state with the participation of a nuclear state is considered as a joint attack,

Kremlin spokesman Peskov said

Russia's use of banned chemicals on the battlefield once again demonstrates Russia's chronic disregard for international law,

the foreign ministry said

Dmitry Peskovkremlin spokesman

It was necessary to bring our principles in line with the current situation,

Peskov added, calling the update a "very important" document that should be "studied" abroad

We need peace through strength, not appeasement,

the ministry added, referring to growing calls for Ukraine to sit down at the negotiating table with Russia to end the war

The enemy is trying to break us as individuals and as a nation. And for 1,000 days, we have been proving that the enemy's plans are in vain. Despite the pain and grief brought by Russia, Ukraine is getting stronger."

Quote from Klymenko

And we have to keep going - to a peaceful and secure country. I am sure we can do it."

He said

Lithuania has stood with Ukraine through it all—before the invasion, during the darkest days, and now in the gruelling fight for freedom. Ukraine can always count on us,

said Lithuanian Defence Minister Laurynas Kasčiūnas

We will stand by you until you regain peace. Glory to Ukraine,

Baerbock wrote

In 2022, Russia thought its full-scale invasion would end in days. 1,000 days later, Ukraine bravely resists. On the battlefield. And against criminal attacks on civilian targets,

she wrote

Our commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine is unshakable,

he said
