Marking 100 Days Of War, Ukrainians Place 100 Candles In Valletta In Form Of A Trident
Marking 100 days since Russia invaded Ukraine, members of the Ukrainian community in Malta gathered in Valletta last night for a demonstration.
Ukrainians symbolically placed 100 candles in the shape of the Ukrainian Trident, which is emblazoned on the country’s coat of arms, outside the entrance to the capital.
Olena Chaplytska led the demonstration and Ukrainians performed some songs and rhymes to mark the occasion.
Although Russia has tightened its grip on the eastern part of Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a statement to mark 100 days since the invasion that Ukraine will win the war.
“100 days of our struggle. 100 days of unity and indomitable spirit,” Zelenskyy said on Telegram. “Over this time, the enemy has failed to achieve any strategic goal, trying to vent its powerlessness on civilian infrastructure and people.”
“In these 100 days, Ukraine has done what seemed impossible, what many did not want to believe. We have stopped the ‘second army of the world’, liberated part of our territories and continue to give a decent rebuff to the occupiers.”
