Russia's war against Ukraine
On February 24, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of the territory of Ukraine.
The occupiers wanted to seize our state and change the government, but the Armed Forces gave a decent rebuff to the Russians and conducted three successful counteroffensives.
During his address to the leaders of the G7 countries, Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Russia to end the war and withdraw the occupying army from the territory of Ukraine by Christmas.
The Kremlin has already reacted to the Ukrainian leader's proposal and stated that they do not want peace and an end to the war.
Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the Ukrainian SSR, predicts that the war in Ukraine will end in the summer of 2023 with the withdrawal of the 1991 borders.
