Ukraine enters its third year of war this Saturday, February 24, weakened, with aid from its allies drying up while the Russian military machine has gained power. This anniversary is marked by the visit of the President of the European Commission to kyiv, and that of the Russian Minister of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, to the Russian side of the front.

“Today, in terms of the balance of power, the advantage is on our side,” the minister told Russian soldiers from a command center.
