Each Russian rocket only secures that all this should end with a tribunal - the President of Ukraine's appeal

I wish health, dear Ukrainians! First of all, I would like to thank our Air Force fighters, a Ukrainian air defense, which has successfully repelled another Russian attack today. 54 rockets, 11 shock drones were shot. Our warriors all over Ukraine were distinguished, and I thank all our air command: "Center", "South", "East" and "West".

And especially we are grateful to the soldiers of the 96th Kyiv, the 160th Odessa, 208th Kherson anti-aircraft missile brigades, whose results are the greatest results today. Unfortunately, we also have several hit. Our energy, repair crews do everything during the day to make the effects of terrorists strike at least. And I thank everyone who works for the sake of restoring energy supply. As of this evening, electricity is switched off in most regions of Ukraine.

It is especially difficult in Kyiv and the capital, Lviv region, Odessa and region, in Kherson and region, in Vinnytsia and Transcarpathia. But it could not be compared to what could be if it were not for our heroic anti -aircraft and air defense. With each such rocket stroke, Russia only deeper into a dead end. They are getting smaller. Instead, the status of the largest terrorist in the world will have a long time for Russia and its citizens.

And each rocket only fixes that all this should end with a tribunal. That's exactly how it will be. And despite all the blows the state works every day. Office, Cabinet - everyone work. In particular, I had two major meetings today, economic and defense. We work for our defenders to have more opportunities, more weapons, more drones. The situation on the forefront per day - without significant changes. The most acute is Bakhmut, Soledar, the whole line in Donetsk.

The enemy did not give up the crazy idea to capture the Donetsk region . . . Now they set themselves the task - in the New Year. I thank all our guys who have been proving the occupiers for a month that we will set and achieve goals on our land. Thank you all who protect the Ukrainian Donbas! To all who protect our Kharkiv region! All who keep our south! Who protects our border . . . and, by the way, thank those border guards who, along with all the defense forces, beat the enemy at the front.

I thank the soldiers of Belgorod-Dnestrovsky and Mukachevo border units. Dear Ukrainians! Two days left this year. Perhaps the enemy will try again to make the New Year we meet in the dark. The occupiers may be planning to make us suffer on another blows in our cities. But whatever they plan, we know one thing: we will stand. Necessarily. Let's expel them. Without a doubt. And they will be punished for this terrible war. Maximum.
