CONFLICT

Belangrijkste gebeurtenissen in drie jaar Oekraïne-conflict

February 24, 2025 - Ukraine marks the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, as world leaders look for a way to end the brutal war that has claimed tens of thousands of lives.

While U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration seeks a quick end to Moscow's invasion without including Kyiv at the table, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said talks on how to end the war could not be held behind Ukraine’s back.

The White House said on Tuesday it would hold more talks with Russia after an initial meeting in Saudi Arabia, a departure from Washington’s previous approach that rallied U.S. allies to isolate Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Kyiv has demanded robust security guarantees, such as the promise of Western peacekeepers, and Zelensky has repeatedly said Russia is not interested in peace and simply wants a ceasefire to rebuild its forces and invade again.

On the battlefield, Ukraine’s outmanned and outgunned troops are struggling to hold back a grinding Russian march across the industrial Donbas region.

Moscow’s forces are now closing in on the Dnipropetrovsk region, seen as a buffer between the war-torn east and Ukraine’s central heartland, Reuters said.
