Quote: "100 days of our resistance. 100 days of unity and an unbreakable spirit. During this time, the enemy has not managed to achieve a single one of their strategic goals. Instead, they have been unleashing their helplessness on civilian infrastructure and residents [of Ukraine].
Meanwhile, over these 100 days Ukraine has achieved the seemingly impossible, the thing that many people had no faith in. We stopped ‘the second largest army in the world’, liberated some of our territories, and are continuing to fight back courageously against the occupiers. I am grateful to everyone who has helped Ukraine stand and continue to defend their land on the hundredth day of the war. We will be victorious!"
Background:
- On the morning of 3 June, President Zelenskyy recorded a video with Denys Smyhal, Prime Minister of Ukraine, David Arakhamia, the head of the ruling faction in the Ukrainian parliament, and presidential aides, to mark the 100th day of the war. He repeated the words he uttered on the second day of the war, 25 February, when he denied Russian propagandists’ allegations that he was dead or fled the country.
- On the 100th day of the war, the Kremlin said that Russia’s "work will continue until all the goals of the ‘military operation’ are achieved in Ukraine."
