Зеленський заявив про продовження найзапекліших боїв на донбасі

I held a meeting of the Staff – the 45th this year. The key is Donetsk region, Luhansk region. Our Donbas, where the fiercest battles continue. Bakhmut, Soledar, Kreminna… We hold our positions. There're also areas of the front where we are slowly advancing. I thank all our soldiers who ensure this. You are real heroes!

We discussed the situation in the south, on our border. Supply of weapons. More strengthening of air defense. This year, we have not only retained our air defenses, but we've made them stronger than ever. In 2023 Ukrainian air defense will become stronger and more effective.

We discussed the energy sector, what we're preparing for, after a meeting of the Staff, at a separate meeting. We've a clear strategy for ensuring the generation and supply of electricity. It takes time to implement it. It takes a lot of effort. But it'll definitely be. It's the most important task for the next year, I have no doubt that we will accomplish it.

Glory to all our people! Glory to Ukraine!
