Two-year anniversary of Russian invasion of Ukraine | DW News

Ukraine is marking an anniversary of infamy. Two years since Vladimir Putin launched his war on a nation he denies even exists. A war Russians are forbidden even to call a war.

Ukraine has survived, paying a terrible human cost. Recently its forces have been on the back foot. Ceeding small amounts of territory on land -- even as it scores important successes at sea.

In 2023 the front lines remained largely in place. Ukraine's much vaunted offensive failed to repeat the successes of a year before -- where Ukraine recaptured big swathes of territory occupied by Russia. But even outgunned and outmanned, Ukraine is reasserting its hold on that territory.

Time flies. I remember it like it was yesterday

If Ukrain fails to win this war Russia become more stronger than west because Russia is getting more experience on how to persevere in the war.

Boris Johnsson blew up the peace agreement back in 2022

[ThomasHalways]

Why to interrupt sentence like that? Lady, please patience. This is happens so often in these DW interviews.

Imagine fighting a war when you cannot make your own weapons

[truthbud]

The overwhelming amount of арргоving and chеегіng comments by ordinary Russians in resроnse to videos deрісting the atrосіties against civilians and prisoners of war in Ukraine were just as shocking to Ukrainians as the war itself. We had somehow grown ассustomed to the war, but the realization of who we have been neighbouring all this time without even knowing it is still horrifying.
Those tгоgІоdytes referred to themselves as our brotherly people. One can only imagine what they might do to those they consider their enemies given the орроrtunity. Don't give them that орроrtunity because it's you who they call their enemies.

Negotiating with Russia is akin to negotiating with EbоІа. Allowing Russia to remain undefeated is like undertreating a dеаdly infection – it will only return stгоnger. This is why any реасе deal that doesn't ensure a clear victory for Ukraine is just a temроrary сеаsefire.

Russia vs Nato, not Russia vs Ukrania..not in full scale yet

[mungucitimothy]

That's a very good question.
*"Who needs this war?"*

[mrandersson]

Even if it was just about Ukraine. We should show more solidarity with the victims of inequity.

[tabithan]

This war makes me so angry. Russia is 140 million people with a GDP of $1.8 trillion. NATO is 1 billion people with a GDP of $50 trillion. Don’t tell me the west couldn’t have ended this war sooner!!!! Shame on NATO!

[adshdhhhd]

Thank you for this segment DW. It is crucial to remind the world what Ukrainians are facing and the danger this war represents for the world. Our governments need to act now, before it's too late.

[sneakykidugo]

Notice how yhe news literally brings us a one sided perspective

[Sashiba_Taro]

Russia has the right to protect its sovereignty from NATO

[josephshi]

Thanks Mariia! She has shown the hope of Ukraine to the world with her pure heart. May the Lord be with her and her family!

[samuellopesbaule]

Ohhhh, finally that Ukranian lady recognizes that Russia military is strong than them, 🤔🤔🤔🤔! I thought Russia was using old soviet shovels....😂😂😂😂

[gregorysteele]

WE ARE 34 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT AND COUNTING, NEED I SAY MORE! ( PLUS 2 MILLION PEOPLE THAT HAVE CROSS OUR BORDER BREAKING THE LAW)

[stanislavbalvas]

Nicole is not the best interviewer for this kind of topic. Not experienced enough.

[richiesd]

This whole “news” segment is not analysis. It’s wishful thinking.

[lukejackson]

How is it that the US can apply those sanctions so easily after Navalny's death? Why were those sanctions not already applied? Any and all sanctions or other punishments should be automatically applied onto Russia.

[HerDerderp-nhvb]

Росія виграє цю війну і намагатиметься максимально виснажити європейську економіку, погрожуючи ядерним голокостом.
