Patrick Turner, NATO's Senior Representative in Ukraine, made this statement in a video address published on social media platform X, Ukrinform reports.
He recalled that three years ago, Russia launched an "unprovoked invasion" aimed at breaking the spirit of the Ukrainian people and destroying Ukraine's sovereignty. However, ever since that day, Ukrainians have shown the world "unparalleled resilience, courage, and unity" in the face of aggression.
"Your brave and courageous fight for your freedom, your sovereignty, and your land is an example to all. In all these years, we have stood firmly by your side and supported you, and we will continue to do so," Turner said.
February 24, 2025 marks three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
On that day in 2022, at approximately 03:40, the first column of Russian tanks entered Ukraine's Luhansk region, and the first barrage of missile strikes was launched across the country.
