Speakers and vice-speakers of the parliaments of Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Finland, the United States, and the European Parliament arrived in Ukraine.

"This visit is a strong symbol of support, solidarity, and trust. I am grateful to my colleagues for their willingness to stand by Ukraine. We appreciate every gesture, every meeting, every word, every action that brings the victory of justice and lasting peace closer. Ukraine feels the support of its partners.

Zelenskyy spoke on delegations' visit

Later, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy showed a photo of the ceremony honoring the victims of Russian terror in Bucha. Representatives of European countries were also present.

"Three years ago, our warriors liberated Bucha from the Russian occupiers. And the world saw what the Russian occupation truly is: people killed in the streets, people tortured, graves in the yards of ordinary houses," Zelenskyy wrote.

Anniversary of Bucha's liberation

On March 31, Ukraine marks the anniversary of the liberation of Bucha, a town that has become a symbol of Russian war crimes and the resilience of the Ukrainian people. It was on this day in 2022 that the Ukrainian Defense Forces completed the operation to liberate the city from the Russian invaders.

After the invaders retreated, the world saw the terrible consequences of their stay: mass graves, civilians killed in the streets, people tortured with their hands tied. The tragedy of Bucha shocked the international community and became one of the most important proofs of the crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine.

Mark Burns, the personal spiritual advisor to US President Donald Trump, is also visiting Kyiv today. He also visited Bucha, Irpin, and Borodyanka.
