Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky has warned Ukrainians about the danger of possible shelling by Russian troops during the celebrations in the last days of the year.
«There are only a few days left this year. We should be aware that our enemy will try to make this time dark and difficult for us,» he has stated in his evening address broadcast every day by the Ukrainian Presidency since the Russian invasion began on February 24.
The Ukrainian president, moreover, has asserted that «Russia lost everything it could this year». «But it is trying to compensate for its losses with the gloating of its propagandists after the missile attacks on our country, on our energy sector,» he added.
«I know that darkness will not prevent us from leading the occupiers to their new defeats. But we have to be prepared for any scenario,» he has indicated.
Zelenski has called on citizens to watch out for air alarms and take shelter. «Please take care of yourself, and be ready to help others. When Ukrainians are together, when Ukrainians are grateful to each other, we cannot be defeated,» he has noted.
Thus, the President took the opportunity to thank the members of the Armed Forces and volunteers, as well as emergency services and critical infrastructure workers, teachers or carriers.
«Thanks to all the leaders and peoples of the world, who this year, together with Ukraine, became leaders in the defense of freedom and next year, I believe, together with us, will do their best to become leaders of peace,» he said.
