It was a very difficult time and every Ukrainian faced difficulties. We are now able to provide fuel and electricity to our people.’ Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba hailed the first day of spring as another “major defeat” for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine. “We have survived the most critical winter conditions in our history,” Kuleba said in a statement. We were unshakable in extremely cold and dark conditions.
