Four years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion, people across Ukraine have remembered their dead from a war which shows no sign of ending, BBC reported. 

As the conflict enters a fifth year, the Ukrainian military continues to resist being overrun by Russian forces, but military losses are mounting on both sides and Ukraine's population faces near-daily aerial attacks.

On Tuesday, Volodymyr Zelensky said "Ukraine never chose this war", adding: "We have defended our independence, we have not lost our statehood."
