Zelensky declares Ukraine ‘year of invincibility’ on anniversary of Russia invasion

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared his country’s year-long fight with Russia a “year of invincibility” on Friday, as he marked the anniversary of the invasion of his nation.

“It was a year of resilience. A year of care. A year of bravery. A year of pain. A year of hope. A year of endurance. A year of unity,” Zelensky said in an address to the Ukrainian people.

“The year of invincibility,” he added. “The furious year of invincibility.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin first ordered troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, launching his “special military operation” into its neighbor to the west.

Zelensky reflected on the Ukrainian response on that day in Friday’s address, noting that “we woke up early and haven’t fallen asleep since.”

“Some people were afraid, some were shocked, some did not know what to say, but everyone felt what to do,” he added.
