Kyiv welcomed the new year an hour before us. But there was no grand celebration in the main square of the city center. President Volodymyr Zelensky released a message in which he thanked Ukrainians for the past 12 months. “It is an honor for me to be the president of such people – Ukrainians, who prove that no cruise missile can defeat a cruise nation.”
New Year arrived in Kyiv at 23:00 Polish time. In the main square in the center of the capital of Ukraine, the silence that prevailed there was symbolic. No fireworks or colorful lights. The last day of the old year was also the 1042nd day of the war with Russia for Ukrainians.
