Today is the 1000th day of a war begun by someone who thought it would be over in 3 days

Today is the 1000th day of a war that was begun by a Russian leader who believed it would be over in three days. One of the greatest military miscalculations in recent history.

Iraq was supposed to be over in a couple weeks, lasted years. Afghanistan lasted twenty years.

It’s never that easy.

1,000 days of resilience. 1,000 days of bravery. 1,000 days of defending our lives and homes during the full-scale phase of Russia’s invasion. Over 10 years of Russia’s war against Ukraine — against our people, sovereignty, and freedom.
