Ukraine must be ready for any scenario: Zelenskyy

KYIV, Ukraine

Ukraine’s president said Sunday that they will continue to fight for victory and be ready for any scenario, despite energy problems due to Russian attacks

Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the nation in a video message on Telegram, congratulating those who celebrate Christmas.

“There are a few days left in this year. We must be aware that our enemy will try to make this time dark and difficult for us. Russia has lost everything this year but is trying to make up for its losses with the pride of his propagandists after the missile attacks on our country, on our energy,” he said.

“I know that the darkness will not prevent us from leading the invaders to new defeats, but we must be ready for any scenario.”

He also urged Ukrainians to listen for air alerts and noted that Russian forces may launch more shelling.

The Russian army has targeted civilians in recent attacks on the city of Kherson, he added.
