Nevertheless and still (всё-таки, всё же)

Persisting with всё-таки

When you want to show that a fact remains true or an action happens despite an obstacle or expectation, use the particle всё-таки (still / nevertheless / all the same). It is incredibly common when describing stubbornness, pushing through difficulties, or eventual success against the odds.

His brother is stronger, but he is still more stubborn than him.
Его брат сильнее, но он всё-таки упорнее его.

Holding Firm with всё же

The phrase всё же is a direct synonym for всё-таки. It also translates to "nevertheless" or "still" and functions in exactly the same way. You can use it to emphasize that despite difficulties, incredible risks, or opposing opinions, a determined action still takes place.
