Ukraine and Russia Mark 1,000 Days of War

As Ukraine marked 1,000 days of war, both Kyiv and Moscow reiterated their commitment to victory, with Ukraine vowing never to surrender and demanding stronger military support from its allies. President Zelensky condemned a recent Russian strike that killed at least nine, asserting that Putin seeks to prolong the conflict and is not interested in peace. In response, the Kremlin updated its nuclear doctrine, allowing for potential nuclear strikes if attacked by non-nuclear states supported by nuclear powers, a move seen as a reaction to U.S. support for Ukraine's use of long-range missiles. Ukrainian officials criticized the international community's failure to stop Russian aggression, emphasizing the need for a forceful response rather than appeasement. Meanwhile, the Kremlin dismissed Western aid as ineffective, insisting that its military operation against Ukraine would continue until completion.
