KYIV: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday vowed to continue with its achievements in war against Russian forces in 2024, despite attempts to undermine support for Kyiv.
Zelensky in his televised address said next year, the enemy will feel the wrath of domestic production.
His statement came less than 72 hours after Russia launched a barrage of missiles and drones at Ukrainian cities, killing 39 people in one of the biggest aerial attacks since the war started.
He said that Ukraine will have at least a million additional drones in its arsenal next year along with F-16 fighter jets delivered by its Western allies.
Ukrainian pilots already to fly F-16 jets
Zelensky added Ukrainian pilots are already to fly F-16 jets, so the enemies of Kyiv can certainly see what our real wrath is.
As the war between Ukraine and Russia has now entered its third calendar year, Zelensky has called upon his Western partners to keep up support amid increasing signs of fatigue with the conflict.
Zelensky in his message cautioned that Ukrainians are stronger than any intrigues and any attempts to diminish global solidarity or to undermine the coalition with its allies.
It is to be noted that despite billions of dollars of Western weapons, Ukraine struggled to make a major breakthrough in its war with Russia.
Moscow, meanwhile has increased pressure on Ukraine capturing the eastern town of Marinka earlier in December and pushing for control of Kupiansk in the northeast.
