25 December 2022 at 06:43 Zelenskyi: The Ukrainians will create their own Christmas miracle Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said in his Christmas speech that the Ukrainians will create their own Christmas miracle when they stand against the Russian war machine. Freedom comes with a high price, but unfreedom costs even more, he said. In the photo that the president’s office has published, he is standing in a bubble jacket in front of a Christmas tree in an otherwise darkened street, probably in the capital, Kyiv. On Christmas Eve, it was 10 months since Russian forces launched a full invasion of Ukraine, in a war that has claimed tens of thousands of human lives, enormous suffering and driven millions of civilians into flight. – We persevered at the start of the war. We stood against attacks, threats, nuclear blackmail, terror, rocket attacks. We will persevere this winter because we know what we are fighting for, said Zelenskyj according to Reuters / NTB.
