But thanks to the heroism and skill of Ukrainian defenders from the plans of the aggressor "to take Kyiv in three days" there is nothing left. The forces of Ukraine's defense have demonstrated to the world the ability to beat the enemy. Diplomacy provided strong international support for Ukraine. Volunteers, energy, every Ukrainian help the country withstand and bring victory closer. The following are 10 major victories that Ukrainians won in 10 months of a full -scale war. 1. Preserved statehood.
The Kremlin plans for the rapid suppression of resistance and dismantling of Ukrainian statehood were not true. Ukraine has demonstrated the institutional capacity and high level of control in extreme conditions. Effective resistance to the aggressor in the first days of a full -scale invasion gave Ukraine time and opportunities for mobilization and obtaining international support. 2. Liberation of Ukrainian territories.
The forces of Ukraine's defense have proved not only to restrain the enemy offensive, but also to carry out successful counter -offensive operations and to force the enemy to "goodwill gestures". The expulsion of Russian invaders from the island of Snake, the defeat of the Russians in the battle for Kyiv and their escape from Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy regions, a brilliant operation to liberate Kharkiv region, and Kherson's de -occupation.
The Ukrainian army proved the possibility of clearing the territory of the state from the enemy by military means. 3. The destruction of the myth of the invincibility of the "second army of the world". Military power and energy for decades were pillars that held the position of the Russian Federation in the international arena. The Ukrainian army knocked out one of them.
The symbol of the destruction of the myth was the drowning of the cruiser "Moscow" - the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. The losses of Russians in Ukraine exceeded 100,000 people in 10 months. The destruction of the most capable units of the Russian personnel army forced the Kremlin, despite its previous promises, to declare mobilization and give good to the construction of a parallel army from criminals - Wagner PEC.
Thus laying a meal of slow action under Russian statehood. 4. Powerful international support of Ukraine and isolation of the Russian Federation. NATO and EU States are actively supporting Ukraine. During the year, seven Ramstein meetings have taken place, which brings together more than 50 countries. According to their results, Ukraine receives new military assistance packages.
The Ukrainian sky is already defended by the German Iris-T, the American-Norwegian Nasams, and later the first Patriot battery is joined. Thanks to Western equipment, Ukrainian energy can restore destroyed power grids faster and more efficiently. Ukrainian refugees are welcome in European countries. Instead, the Kremlin regime of Europe is in turn recognized as terrorist. The Russian Federation loses the remnants of international authority and entering the western markets.
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is applauded by foreign parliaments, and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has to be satisfied only with sitting with illegitimate Alexander Lukashenko in Minsk. 5. Updating the issue of liberation of Crimea.
Despite the fact that the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine began with the occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol in 2014, the issue of restoration of Ukrainian sovereignty over the peninsula remained "taken out for brackets". The launch of the Crimean platform in 2021 allowed to update the discussion at the diplomatic level.
Starting a full -scale invasion and attempting to annex four more Ukrainian regions, the Kremlin put Crimea in a row with Kherson, Donetsk and Lugansk. Regular "cotton" on the peninsula signals that even after the years of militarization it remains a "weak link" in the safety system of the Russian Federation. 6. Activation of Euro -Atlantic integration. Overcoming the difficulties related to the war, Ukraine does not stop taking steps on the path to NATO and the EU assigned to the Constitution.
On February 28, Ukraine applied for accession to the European Union and has been given the status of a candidate within four months. On September 30, an application for joining NATO was filed, Ukraine has already supported 11 Alliance countries. 7. Effective communication. The Kremlin failed to disorient society and undermine the unity of the event. Ukraine builds an effective multilevel communication system with governments and citizens of partner countries.
In this field, journalists, public activists, government officials, diplomats, Ukrainian diaspora work. Events in Ukraine cover the world's leading media. Despite Russian misinformation campaigns, three -quarters of EU countries support assistance to Ukraine. The sympathies of the world today are on the side of Ukraine. 8. Powerful volunteer movement. The full -scale invasion gave a new impetus to the volunteer movement.
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, millions of Ukrainians joined him - began to help the army, help civilians affected by the Russian armed aggression. Medications, drones, cars, weapons, armored vehicles and even a satellite - Ukrainian volunteers have proven that there is nothing impossible for them. 9. Movement of resistance in the occupied territories. Ukrainians met Russian invaders not with flowers, but weapons.
Regular sabotage and elimination of Russian military and collaborators do not allow them to feel comfortable on Ukrainian soil. 10. The unity of the Ukrainian people. The cessation of internal strife and association of Ukrainians for the sake of Ukraine has become an important factor in organizing the resistance of the enemy. Ukraine is defeating both people with different political views and representatives of political forces who are fierce competitors.
