World unites to support Ukraine on second anniversary of Russian invasion when Vladimir Putin said country would fall within three days

The Ukrainian president stood before the site of the first major battle of the war today and promised his people they would see victory.

'We will win,' Volodymyr Zelensky said resolutely at a ceremony at Hostomel Airport, where Russian invaders were turned back after sweeping towards Kyiv in 2022 at the start of their so-called 'three-day invasion'.

As Zelensky meets with foreign leaders to mark the two year anniversary of the war and discuss future sanctions on Russia, supporters around the world have likewise gathered to protest the invasion and pray for the Ukrainian people.

In London, an inter-faith prayer session at the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral near Bond Street saw supporters of diverse backgrounds and beliefs join together in a show of support for the resistance, praying for an end to the wanton destruction that has torn through Ukraine, leaving no life untouched.

And in Edinburgh, people holding signs on behalf of different European nations were seen caped in Ukrainian flags and sharing messages opposing the Russian invasion.

A sea of blue and yellow swept through Berlin as protestors gathered in front of the Brandenburg Gate to wave flags and listen to the words of Ukrainian soldiers rehabilitated in Germany, who pleaded with the public to 'make sure that you won't become soldiers by letting the war [come] close to your borders'.

In Poland, as activists dumped manure outside the Russian ambassador's home near Warsaw, protestors in Krakow marched with Ukrainian flags and held placards with messages in solidarity. Poland's leaders assured Ukraine that, in spite of recent differences over trade, Warsaw was resolute in its support for Kyiv's upheaval.

And in Serbia, a country historically more aligned with Russia, protestors bravely took to the streets to march in the rain and show their support, young demonstrators pictured embracing and shedding tears as they reflected on two brutal years of conflict.
