Ukraine vows to 6never submit,

Citizens try to continue to carry on their daily chores, coping with hardships, shortages and trying to keep nation running

Ukraine has said it will never give in to Russia's aggression as it marks 1,000 days since the Kremlin launched a full-scale invasion of the country.

"Ukraine will never submit to the occupiers, and the Russian military will be punished for violating international law," the foreign ministry said on Tuesday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will later address a special session of the European Parliament via videolink from Kyiv on Tuesday, the 1,000th day of Russia's full-scale invasion of the country on February 24, 2022.

It comes as eight people, including a child, were killed in a drone attack on Ukraine's northeastern region of Sumy overnight, where 89 were also killed in a separate strike on Sunday. Zelenskyy said the attack confirmed that Putin "wants the war to continue, he is not interested in talking about peace".

Local media earlier reported Zelenskyy would also unveil an "internal resilience plan" to Ukraine's parliament on Tuesday.
