Hello everyone and welcome to Amunpur live from the Ukrainian capital Kieve.

Here's what's coming up.

Sala Nashim. coming up. Slava our nation.

Slava Ukraine.

A somber mood across Ukraine as it marks the first anniversary of Russia's full-scale

invasion and President Zelensky vows victory this year. I'm joined by Ukraine's

deputy minister of foreign affairs.

Then what the war says about Russian society with Nina Kuchava,

historian and descendant of the former Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, also ahead.

Yes who I saw today, my dear.

The best new artist at this year's grammies jazz singer Samarra Joy tells

Michelle Martin about her journey to this breakthrough moment. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Christina Manpur in Kyiv Ukraine. One year ago

today the world really changed when Russia marched across the border

into Ukraine for its full-scale war. On February 24th, 2022, many thought Kyiv this capital will fall in a matter of days, but 365 days later,

Kiv still stands and it is still free.

Autocracy has been weakened, democracy stands stronger and the

NATO alliance is more united than it ever was. Even the United Nations where

Russia has a loud voice with its seat on the Security Council

has rallied against the invasion.

The General Assembly has voted again to condemn Putin's war. Today Ukraine's president, Valodemir Zelensky, visited

injured soldiers in the hospital and he addressed his troops, telling them that over the next year he wants victory.

Lute a fierce year of invincibility, its main conclusion is that we have survived. We have not been defeated and we will do everything to win this year.
