Zelensky hails Ukraine’s ‘absolute heroism’ on war anniversary as European leaders arrive for Kyiv summit

CNN  

Kyiv CNN — President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was proud of the “absolute heroism” shown by the Ukrainian people in withstanding three years of unprovoked Russian aggression, as European leaders gathered in Kyiv on Monday to mark the third anniversary of Moscow’s full-blown war. Three years of absolute heroism of Ukrainians,” Zelensky said on X, while expressing his “eternal gratitude to the fallen heroes.” Zelensky also shared a somber video of top European leaders placing lanterns at a Kyiv memorial, decked out with dozens of flags of Ukraine and its allies. Last week, Trump said Zelensky “should never have started” the war in Ukraine, repeating Russia’s false claims that Kyiv – not Moscow – was to blame for the invasion. Ursula Von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said Ukraine was invaded for “no reason except Putin’s imperial obsession,” warning that the Russian leader’s goal “remains Ukraine’s capitulation.” Without mentioning Trump by name, Von der Leyen appeared to push back on other false claims by the president that US support to Ukraine amounted to some $350 billion.
