KYIV: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed on Saturday that Ukraine would continue to resist Russian attacks as the country marked the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor famine that affected millions of Ukrainians under Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.

Several European leaders traveled to Ukraine to pledge support after weeks of Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy grid caused widespread power and water cuts as temperatures plunged with the onset of winter.
