(5 years ago)President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine's armed forces are able to handle any possible attacks by Russia. During a visit to the front of the war, Donjeck, on the National Army Day, the president saw closely the morale of his soldiers, who daily face separatists backed by Moscow. [...]
I'd like to wish each of you health and long life today. It's very important because we want to tell our grandchildren wonderful stories about your heroisms while defending the country. With people like you, I am confident that we will defeat everyone, certainly”, Zelenskiy said.
So far, since Russia's crime annexation, Kiev says that 14,000 people have lost their lives in fighting. The fragile truce signed in 2020 is not always respected and there are occasionally fire exchanges.
But recently fear has increased for a full invasion of Ukraine by Russia, as Kiev itself has warned some American intelligence agencies. NATO and the US have called on Russian President Vladimir Putin that the consequences of such an act will be serious.
Ukraine accuses Russia of listing tens of thousands of troops at the border, while Russia says it is simply an inflated alert from the West. Putin even warned NATO does not break red lines and expand to the east.
For the conflict in Ukraine and recent tensions, a virtual summit between Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin was agreed on Tuesday.
