Ukrainians defied pressure from Moscow with a national show of flag-waving unity on Wednesday, even as the West warned it has seen no sign of a promised pullback of Russian troops from the country's borders.
President Volodymyr Zelensky, who declared the 'unity day' to coincide with the rumoured date of Putin's invasion, addressed the nation after the attack failed to materialise - telling his countrymen that 'we can defend our home only if we stay united.'
'We are united by a desire to happily live in peace,' he added, before flying via helicopter to a training range in Ukraine's west where live-fire tank and aircraft drills were underway.
