Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed that Ukraine will defeat Russia as the war enters its third year. During a ceremony marking the occasion, he stated, "We have been fighting for this for 730 days of our lives, and we will triumph on the best day of our lives." Several Western leaders attended the ceremony, held in the courtyard of the Gostomel Airport in Kyiv, which was targeted by Russian shelling in the early days of the invasion.
