Zelensky vows to make 2023 ‘the year of victory’ as he marks anniversary of Russian invasion

Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to make 2023 “the year of victory” as he marked the anniversary of the Russian invasion.

The embattled president of Ukraine shared a moving video looking back on 12 months of the war, calling it a “year of unity” and a “year of invincibility”.

“On February 24, millions of us made a choice: Not a white flag, but a blue-yellow flag. Not an escape, but an encounter,” Mr Zelensky wrote, captioning the video.

“It was a year of pain, regret, faith and unity. And this is the year of our unbreakableness. We know that this will be a year of our victory with you!”
