, President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed on Tuesday, as divisions among his key allies overshadowed commemorations of the start of the conflict. European nations had hoped to agree a fresh package of sanctions against Russia as well as a 90 billion euro loan for Ukraine but Hungary, which maintains close ties with Moscow, had on Monday kept up its veto on both.

He has not broken the Ukrainian people. He has not won this war,” Zelensky said in a morning address, extending an invitation to US President Donald Trump to come to Kyiv. “Only by visiting Ukraine and seeing our lives and struggles with your own eyes … can you understand what this war is really about.” Hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides have died or been wounded in Europe’s bloodiest conflict since World War Two.

Moscow, which is advancing painfully slowly on the battlefield, insists that Ukraine must cede the final 20% of the eastern region of Donetsk – while Kyiv is adamant it will not relinquish land that thousands have died to defend. “We want peace: strong, dignified, lasting peace,” Zelensky said, adding that he had told peace negotiators: “Do not nullify all these years, do not devalue all the struggle, courage, dignity, everything that Ukraine has gone through. We cannot, we must not, give it away, forget it, betray it.” French President Emmanuel Macron said on X that Russia had paid a heavy price for small territorial gains in Ukraine: “One day, Russians will grasp the enormity of the crime committed in their name.” Polish President Karol Nawrocki, also on X, said Russia’s aggression against Ukraine posed a serious threat to the security of Europe: “We look with respect upon the courage of people who stand up for freedom every day.” Mexican cartel kingpin 'El Mencho' was taken out after authorities tracked mistress to secret love nest Your Mexico spring break just got more dangerous — and even the World Cup could be derailed by cartel violenceTrump dealt huge tariff blow as Supreme Court rules them illegal — and US may be forced to pay back billionsJim Breuer fumes after American Airlines bumps him from first class at the gate: ‘This is foul’In a video statement marking the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of his country, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Vladimir Putin had failed to achieve his goals.People gather during a moment of silence to pay tribute to victims of the Russian aggression, on the day marking the fourth anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in the town of Irpin, Kyiv region, Ukraine, on Feb. 24, 2026.
