Ukraine weathers previously unthinkable: 50 days of Russian war

Ukraine has weathered what weeks ago was viewed as unthinkable —  more than 50 days of an onslaught from Russia, its larger and more powerful neighbor.

When Moscow’s troops first invaded in February, many observers did not think that Ukraine and its embattled President Volodymyr Zelensky would last the month.

Instead, Ukraine is still standing and defiant nearly two months later, as Russian forces have retreated from the areas surrounding Kyiv to focus on a continued fight in the east.
