Ukrainian President Volodmir Zelenskyy called on Ukrainians on Monday night to prepare for further Russian rocket attacks and therefore to watch out for sirens.
“Don’t forget to be prepared for missile attacks or Russian provocations. Air defense is preparing, the state is preparing, and everyone must prepare. Please pay attention to the sirens,” he said.
In his usual evening speech, the Ukrainian President said the situation on the front lines is “difficult, acute” as the Russians are “using all the resources at their disposal and they are significant to make at least some progress”. .
Zelenskyy thanked his military for holding their positions “firmly” and not only losing “nothing” in territory, but driving out the occupiers.
Referring to the power supply, which has been badly affected by the constant Russian attacks, the Ukrainian President said that around 9 million people were disconnected from the grid across Ukraine this afternoon.
With this in mind, he thanked all the workers of the companies in the sector who, despite the holidays, were able to deliver more energy in the last days of Christmas Eve and Christmas.
In his speech, Zelenskyy recounted his phone conversation with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will take over the presidency of the G20 in 2023, which he hopes will be “fruitful, not for anyone in particular, but for all who value world peace.” .
“India can be more active in efforts to end aggression, so I hope next year we can do more together for global stability,” he said.
