In a tragic escalation of violence, Russia's missile and drone attacks on February 22, 2026, resulted in the deaths of four Ukrainians, just days before the fourth anniversary of the invasion. The attacks targeted energy and rail infrastructure as well as residential areas in Kyiv, causing significant damage and injuries, including to a child. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated his belief that Russian President Vladimir Putin 'has already begun' World War III, emphasizing the urgency of the situation in a recent interview with the BBC. He expressed that his perspective on the conflict starkly contrasts with that of U.S. President Donald Trump, highlighting differing views on the global implications of the war. As the conflict surpasses 1,418 days, now longer than Moscow's defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, Zelensky claimed that Ukraine is 'definitely not losing' the war, citing recent counterattacks that have reclaimed approximately 300 square kilometers of territory.
