On the second anniversary of the full-scale invasion, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko thanked the people of Kyiv who defended the capital in the first days of the full-scale invasion, and showed how the capital lived during the war.
"For two years of a full-scale war, the capital defended itself, lived and worked. And in general, for 10 years, Ukraine has been fighting back against the russian aggressor. We - each in our place - are doing everything for the Victory and the liberation of our state from the russian barbarians. I thank the people of Kyiv, who stood by shoulder to shoulder in the first days and weeks of a full-scale war, so that Kyiv - the heart of Ukraine - would endure. Thank to the people of Kyiv, who work to provide services to the citizens. Thank you to our soldiers who are heroically fighting for the freedom of Ukraine in the hell of war!" Vitali Klitschko said.
He also noted that Kyiv honors the memory of fallen defenders and helps their families. Directs funds to the military, renews damaged infrastructure and ensures the capital's vital activities.
