“We stand and fight for survival. We are an independent state. We
will definitely not lose this war”

Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s International Editor, speaks to the
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview marking
the fourth anniversary of the Ukraine war.

Official figures put the number of Ukrainian soldiers killed at
55,000 since the full-scale Russian invasion began, but that is
believed to be an underestimate, with many more missing. The
number of Russian soldiers killed is believed to be much higher.
The civilian death toll in Ukraine stands at more then 14,000.

Repeated attempts at a peace deal have failed.

In the face of ongoing Russian aggression, President Zelensky
remains defiant. Russia has started the Third World War, he says,
and must not be allowed to win.
