The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, reported on preparations for diplomatic events planned for next week and announced good news.

He spoke about this in the traditional evening address on Sunday, January 8. 

"We expect good news for our country, good decisions that will further strengthen the defense," the Ukrainian leader promised.

Zelensky emphasized that these days the world has again become convinced that Russia lies even when it itself draws attention to the situation at the front with its statements. 

"Russian shelling of Kherson with incendiary ammunition right after Christmas.

The strikes on Kramatorsk and other cities of Donbass targeted civilian objects and precisely when Moscow was reporting on the alleged "silence" of the army.

Another threat by Russian officials to Europe and the world..." - the Ukrainian president listed the conditions of the so-called "Christmas truce" announced by Moscow, violated by Moscow.

According to him, no attempt by Russia to manipulate diplomacy and politics will ever work.

"Only the strengthening of Ukraine, only the successes of Ukraine, only the restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, only the return of all our people from captivity, from Russian captivity are guarantees for the restoration of peace.

We are bringing it closer," the president assured.

It will be recalled that on January 7, despite the "Christmas truce" announced by the dictator of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, the occupying forces fired at the UN humanitarian mission, which was carrying aid to the front-line town of Orihiv, Zaporizhzhia region.
