I thank you for 2024. To our people, who are going through all the difficulties with dignity. To people for whom being citizens of Ukraine is a matter of pride.

In addition, the head of state expressed gratitude to all of Ukraine's allies who helped it survive this extremely difficult war for survival.

I remember talking to Joe Biden after the Russian invasion. I remember talking to Donald Trump after his election. All the conversations with congressmen, senators, ordinary Americans, with everyone who supports us in the US, Europe, the world — in these many and different conversations there was always unity in the main thing: Putin cannot win. Ukraine will prevail. Putin cannot win. Ukraine will prevail.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy wished that 2025 would be the year of Ukraine, the year of our victory.

We know that peace will not be given to us. But we will do everything to stop Russia and end the war… Happy New Year, dear people! Happy New Year, Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine!
