President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, recorded<\/a> a video address and showed the bunker on Bankova Street, from where he coordinated defense and called world leaders in the first days of the war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Today is exactly four years since Putin took Kyiv in three days. And this actually says a lot about our resistance, about how Ukraine has been fighting all this time. Behind these words are millions of our people. Behind these words is great courage, very hard work, endurance, and the long journey that Ukraine has been overcoming since February 24,” Zelenskyy said.<\/p>\n

The president showed the corridors and offices of the bunker, where daily meetings with the military were held, international calls were made, and key decisions were made.<\/p>\n

He recalled that Ukrainians did not raise the white flag, but stood up to defend the state.<\/p>\n

“Our people did not raise the white flag, but defended the blue-yellow one. And the occupiers, who thought that they would be met here by lines with flowers, saw lines at the military registration and enlistment offices. Our people chose resistance,” the head of state noted. <\/p>\n
