From a Washington Post story by Missy Ryan, Robyn Dixon, and David L. Stern headlined “Ukraine, Western backers pledge resolve on anniversary of Russia’s invasion”:
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainians vowed Friday to fight on as the world marked the first anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, which violently ended decades of European stability and unleashed a charged battle between autocracy and freedom.
A year after the first missiles rained down on Kyiv and other cities in the early hours of Feb. 24, 2022, Ukraine’s Western backers pledged indefinite support, promising to continue the supply of weapons that helped Ukrainian forces foil President Vladimir Putin’s neo-imperialist plan to subjugate his neighbor.
