Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine
24 February 2026 10:00
Four years ago, no February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale war against Ukraine. From its first hours in 2022, Ukrainian Defence Forces and civilians across thousands of Ukrainian communities showed extraordinary courage and heroism in resisting the enemy.
For many months, Ukrainian defenders have bravely protected Ukraine’s freedom and future, carrying out unique special operations, inflicting massive and irreparable losses on the enemy, and weakening Russia’s military machine.
The war continues for one reason: Russia has not renounced its imperial ambitions. The world must increase pressure on Russia to stop its aggression, crimes, and terror against civilians.
Above all, Ukraine seeks an end to this war – a lasting, sustainable, dignified peace based on solid security guarantees. We call on international partners to take united action in pursuit of this goal.
We thank Ukrainian defenders for protecting our cities and villages, our people, and our future.
Слава Україні!

Today marks exactly four years since Putin started his three-day push to take Kyiv. And that says a great deal about our resistance, about how Ukraine has fought all this time. Behind those words stand millions of our people, immense courage, incredibly hard work, endurance, and the long path Ukraine has been pursuing since February 24.
Looking back at the beginning of the invasion and reflecting on today, we have every right to say: we have defended our independence, we have not lost our statehood; Putin has not achieved his goals. He has not broken Ukrainians; he has not won this war. We have preserved Ukraine, and we will do everything to secure peace and justice. Glory to Ukraine!
