Posted by: lukwago J in world news January 1, 2024

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has affirmed that Ukraine has grown stronger and is determined to deliver a resolute response to Russia in 2024, according to a statement released by his office during a resolute New Year’s address on Sunday (Dec 31st) where he pledged to unleash formidable “wrath” against Russian forces throughout 2024.

In contrast, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s New Year’s Eve address was notably scaled back compared to last year’s and was also devoid of any mention of the conflict in Ukraine.

Zelensky’s remarks come as a testament to Ukraine’s unwavering commitment to defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity amid ongoing tensions with Russia.

Zelesnky’s declaration, as per AFP, comes less than 72 hours after an aerial assault by Moscow on Ukrainian cities. The barrage of missiles and drones resulted in 39 casualties and marked one of the biggest aerial attacks since the Ukraine-Russia war‘s inception.

In the televised address, Zelensky promised a substantial increase in Ukraine’s military capabilities in the upcoming year.

He underscored that Ukraine has bolstered its resilience and is prepared to face any challenges that may arise in the year ahead.

Ukraine will continue to defend itself

Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine’s response to Russia’s actions will be firm and resolute, demonstrating the nation’s determination to protect its interests and maintain peace in the region.

In addition Zelensky reiterated that Ukraine seeks a peaceful solution to the conflict but will not hesitate to defend itself if necessary and called for international solidarity and support in countering Russia’s aggression.

He highlighted the importance of a united front among like-minded nations to deter further destabilization and protect the principles of international law.

President Zelensky’s vow to unleash a firm response against Russia in 2024 demonstrates Ukraine’s determination and resilience.

With a focus on defending its sovereignty and seeking peaceful solutions, Ukraine seeks international support to counter Russian aggression and maintain regional stability.
