Zelensky devoted his New Year’s address almost entirely to the conflict with Russia, The Hill reports

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky devoted almost his entire New Year’s address to the conflict with Russia.

The U.S. congressional newspaper The Hill drew attention to this.

“Zelensky delivered a longer speech focused almost exclusively on the war,” the journalists noted.

The outlet also said that Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s address was shorter and touched on the theme of unity among the peoples of Russia.

On December 31, in his holiday greeting, Putin wished Russians health and happiness, mutual understanding and well-being, as well as inspiring love. He also singled out participants in the “special military operation,” noting that “the country believes in them and in victory.”
