Zelenskyy's press conference on December 19: what is known
For the first time, the Ukrainian leader's plans to hold a large-scale meeting with media representatives became known on 18 December.
The time and place of the event were not announced in advance — journalists were informed about them in the letter confirming their accreditation.
The media had until 16:00 on Monday, 18 December, to accredit 1 correspondent, 1 cameraman and 1 photographer for the President's summary press conference.
Zelenskyy gave a big press conference on 24 February 2023, the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. At the time, he expressed hope that there would be no more war in Ukraine within a year.
Zelenskyy updated the forecast regarding the duration of the war with Russia
As the head of state recently noted, not only Ukrainians, but the entire international community needs to come to terms with the idea that the war will not end as quickly as we would like.
The President pointed out that the world, for reasons unknown to him, "treats the Russian-Ukrainian war like a film and expects that there will be no long pauses in the events".
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also added that people in different parts of the world count on the fact that "the picture before their eyes will always change, there will be some surprises every day".
But for us, for our soldiers, this is not a film. This is our life. This is hard daily work. And everything will not end as quickly as we would like, but we have no right to give up and we will not do so, the Head of State stressed.
