Two years of war in Ukraine: Zelensky appears confident of victory. Top Western politicians also took part.

"Every normal person wants the war to end," said Zelenskiy at a ceremony marking the anniversary. The Russian army invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022 on the orders of Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin. After more than a year of deadlocked fighting, Moscow is now going on the offensive again, especially in eastern Ukraine. The sanctions imposed by the West against Moscow because of the war have not yet had the desired effect.
