Their Majesty the Koru, Willow I, has shared their statement on the fourth anniversary of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

I remember the morning, four years ago today, that the world found out that Russia had once again invaded Ukraine.

Over 15,000 Ukrainian civilians have since been murdered by Russia and over 50,000 military personell have died defending their country.

Putin claimed Russia’s invasion would take only a few days- it has taken around 1,460. I have nothing but admiration for the Ukrainian people.

Four years on, the war is still ongoing. It needs to come to an end. The only acceptable way for this to happen is for Russia to completely withdraw from Ukrainian territory, including Crimea.

This is not just a war against Ukraine, it’s a war against Europe. Ukraine is on the frontline. Hokoria stands with Ukraine- since the start of the war, today and always.

Слава Україні.
