Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky prayed that peace would no longer elude his nation in the New Year — which Russia commemorated by firing more than 200 drones.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday that he will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida over the weekend. Zelenskyy told journalists that the two leaders will discuss security guarantees for Ukraine during Sunday's talks,

New Year's address by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy Dear Ukrainians! In just a few minutes, the new year will begin. And I would give anything in the world if, in this address, I could say that peace will also come in just a few minutes.

In his address on New Year's Eve, Zelenskyy asserted that Ukraine wants to end the war, but not at 'any cost'. Zelenskyy, who was dressed in a dark green embroidered shirt, said that Ukraine must be given security guarantees that Russia will not invade it again.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said his country believes it will win the war in Ukraine, nearly four years after he launched an invasion of the neighbouring nation, in comments made during his televised annual New Year’s Eve address.

French President Emmanuel Macron said that last Tuesday's Coalition of the Willing summit in Paris would deliver "concrete commitments to protect Ukraine". Did the talks deliver on those security guarantees?
