The massive Russian missile attack on Ukraine on New Year's Eve, December 31, is not the result of the year, but the result of the fate of the Russian Federation, said President Volodymyr Zelensky. Against the backdrop of another terrorist attack by Russia, the head of the Ukrainian state addressed the citizens of the aggressor state.

“The terrorist state will not be forgiven. And those who give orders for such strikes and those who carry them out will not receive pardon.. To put it mildly. Several waves of rocket strike on New Year's Day. Rockets against the people. It is against the people. The fiends did it and the fiends will lose. We know it with you. Terrorists cannot change this,” Zelensky said in an address after a massive strike.

The President of Ukraine also addressed the Russians. At the same time, Zelensky spoke in Russian.

" Your leader wants to show that he has the military behind him, that he is in front. But he's just hiding. Hiding behind the military, behind missiles, behind the walls of his own residences and palaces. He hides behind you and he burns your country and your future.. Terror will never forgive you. No one in the world will forgive you for this.. Ukraine will not forgive,” Zelensky said.

He thanked everyone who defends Ukraine. To all those who are at the front and fighting for our state.

\! And please don't ignore the sirens. Thanks to our power engineers - everyone who neutralizes the consequences of terrorist attacks. There will be a New Year. Let's be in touch! Glory to Ukraine! "
