The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, congratulated Christians of the Western rite on Christmas.

Zelenskyi noted that Ukrainians are meeting today and all future winter holidays in difficult circumstances.

He said this in his evening address.

"Someone will see the first star in the sky over Bakhmut, Rubizhny, and Kreminnaya today. Someone will meet the holiday in other people's homes, but not in the homes of strangers - Ukrainians who gave shelter to Ukrainians. Someone will hear "Schedryk" in another language - in Warsaw, Berlin, London, New York, Toronto and in many other cities and countries. And someone will meet this Christmas in captivity, but let them remember that we are also coming for these people of ours, we will restore freedom to all Ukrainian men and women," he said.

Zelensky drew attention to the difference of the holiday this year: we will not wait for a miracle, because we will create it ourselves.

"No matter where we are, we will be together today. We will make a wish. One for all. And feel joy. One for all. And understand the truth. One for all. We will celebrate our holidays! As always. We will smile and rejoice . As always. There is only one difference: we will not wait for a miracle, because we create it ourselves. Christ is born! Let's praise him!"

- the president said in his address.

It will be recalled that the Prime Minister of Great Britain Rishi

 Sunak published a sensitive video in support of Ukraine on the eve of Christmas.

 The video compares the lives of two girls from Ukraine and Great Britain.

They are both preparing for Christmas, but for the British child, the pre-holiday period is full of happiness, the Ukrainian girl hears the air raid signals herself every day.
