ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE, VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY We are starting this year with diplomacy, and we are continuing the conversation with our partners. This is the most important thing, that there should be enough support for us, for Ukraine. This is what everything depends on, first of all the soldiers on the front lines, all our defenders, our industry, our weapons production and everyone who helps us, all our international support. PPO should be searched every day. Ukraine needs missiles for air defense every day. Likewise, finances for weapons, for drones for our army, NRK, equipment – everything is necessary. Everything is as active as possible. And also – for the sake of the negotiations moving, in all aspects, on each track. Thanks to everyone who helps us. And, of course, I thank everyone who is working from night to morning on recovery after the Russian strikes. Even on New Year’s Eve, the Russians did not hold back. They are like that. But we are defending and rebuilding. Such Ukrainians. And tomorrow will be an important day of internal politics for Ukraine.

We believe in the Armed Forces and help them! Together we are a force! Glory to Ukraine!
