The Ukrainian defense forces have liberated 931 settlements since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine started. The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian President in his video address, in which he is summing up 2 months of Russian invasion.

“As of this time, 931 settlements have already been de-occupied. Many cities and communities are still under the temporary control of the Russian army. But I have no doubt that it is only a matter of time before we liberate our land. This war has truly become a people’s war for Ukraine. And it showed that all across Ukraine – from east to west, from north to south – the Ukrainian idea is equally strong, equally national.

Russia can spend enormous resources to support the war, oppose the entire free world, take away from its people everything that could have been used to develop Russia itself, and focus this potential on destroying its neighbors. But, the lessons of history are well known.

If you are going to build a millennial Reich, you lose. If you are going to destroy the neighbors, you lose. If you want to restore the old empire, you lose. And if you go against the Ukrainians, you lose.

In two months, they [Russians] used more than 1100 missiles against us. Countless bombs and artillery. They tortured, robbed, executed. They mined our land. Peaceful cities and villages were turned into hell. Some Ukrainian cities and communities were destroyed to the ground. But they did not achieve anything. And they will not achieve”, - said Volodymyr Zelensky.

He noted that Russia had launched the offensive against Ukraine in many directions two months ago, resorting to missile strikes, air raids, artillery, tanks.

“Most in the world had not even believed on February 24 that Ukrainians would withstand more than a week. A month ago, we still had to convince different countries that betting on Ukraine means winning. And now everyone knows it.

Ukrainian state is a real symbol of struggle for freedom thanks to the courage, wisdom of our defenders, thanks to the courage of all Ukrainian men and women.

A global anti-war coalition was formed in two months. Sanctions have already been imposed on Russia, which have taken away its future. Ukraine receives assistance from dozens of countries. This is support in the form of weapons, finances, necessary goods, direct political support”, - added the President.
