Today marks 4 years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Millions of lives were split into “before” and “after”—homes destroyed, families separated, childhoods stolen. But Ukraine stands. Last weekend, thousands marched across U.S. cities for Ukraine. #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

💥 Four years ago, I woke up to explosions as Russia’s full-scale war began. Today, Ukraine is stronger: we destroyed Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, hit their oil/gas industry, drained their budget, and now drones fly over Moscow. Putin triggered Russia’s collapse, not Ukraine’s. 🇺🇦

4 YEARS FULL-SCALE WAR: RUSSIAN FEDERATION COLLAPSE TRIGGERED Vlog 1327: War in Ukraine youtu.be/tOwi8Zqnnyo

Today marks four years since Russia launched its illegal, unprovoked and unjustified full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a continuation of its armed aggression against the country that began in 2014. Video: UkraineWorld

Today, Ukrainians mark the anniversary of the full-scale invasion — a day that changed our lives and brought immense terror and grief to our people. On this day, we remember everyone who has fallen and reflect on how Ukraine managed to endure yet another year of war.
