▶ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared an emotional embrace with a veteran at an event commemorating the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, June 6, 2024.

👉 Thursday marked 80 years since D-Day, one of World War II's most significant episodes, when Allied forces stormed the coast of France and changed the course of history.

On June 6, 1944, more than 130,000 troops — mostly from the United States, United Kingdom and Canada — landed on the shores of Normandy to combat Axis forces led by the Germans.

Brutal, bloody fighting led to many deaths on both sides, but steadily, over several weeks, the Allies gained the upper hand and began to turn the tide of the conflict. Germany surrendered less than a year later.
