A vendor sells blue and yellow balloons in honour of the country's National Flag Day on August 23, 2022 at Maidan Square in Kiev, Ukraine, where authorities banned mass gatherings through Thursday.

"The blue and yellow flag of Ukraine will again fly where it rightfully should be — in all temporarily occupied cities and villages of Ukraine," he said, including the Crimea Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014.At a separate event, Zelenskyy appeared to downplay the threats this week, indicating that at most, he expected increased intensity rather than new targets.
"This is a battle of wills and a battle of logistics. Therefore, we must sustain our support for Ukraine for the long term so that Ukraine prevails as a sovereign, independent nation," Stoltenberg said at an international conference on Crimea.Zaporizhzhia at risk
