Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyyhe was sure of that victory in a televised message to the nation to mark the Year New, hours after he warned Russia there would be no forgiveness. “We are fighting and we will continue to fight. For the keyword: ‘victory’. There will certainly be. We have been approaching it for 311 days,” he said.
According to Zelenski, this year could be called a “year of losses for Ukraine, for all of Europe, for the whole world,” but it was a “mistake,” he added. “We haven’t lost anything. They took it from us. Ukraine has not lost sons and daughters: they were kidnapped by murderers. Ukrainians didn’t lose their homes: they were destroyed by terrorists. We have not lost our lands: the invaders have invaded them. The world has not lost peace: Russia has destroyed it,” he stressed.
He added that it is impossible to forget and forgive him, “but it is possible to win”. “I want to say to all of you: Ukrainians, you are amazing! Look what we have done and what we are doing!” he said.
He noted that without knowing for sure what the new year will bring for Ukrainians, Ukrainians are “prepared for anything.” “New achievements? We will be happy. New attacks? We will be indestructible. Will the fight continue? We will fight. And when we win, we hug‘ he also assured, alongside wishing ‘that this year is that year of return“.
“The return of our people, soldiers with their families, prisoners to their homes, displaced persons to their Ukraine, the return of our territories and temporarily occupied will be free forever, the return to normal life moments of happiness without curfew, to earthly joys without flight alarm, the return of what was stolen from us‘ he confided.

“But it hides. It hides behind the troops, behind the missiles, behind the walls of their residences and palaces. It hides behind you and burns your country and your future.. No one will forgive their terror. No one in the world will forgive them for that. Ukraine will not forgive.”
