President Zelenskyy States The Nation Was Ten Percent Off from a Peace Deal, But Not at Any Possible Price
During his year-end speech, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that a potential peace deal was ninety percent ready. "The peace agreement is 90 percent complete, ten percent is left," he said. "And that is much more than simply numbers."
An Agreement Needs Robust Guarantees, Not a Weak Ceasefire
Zelenskyy emphasized that his country seeks peace but would not accept it at "any cost". "What is it that Ukraine desires? An end to hostilities? Yes. No matter the price? Certainly not," he said. "Our goal is an end to the conflict but not the end of our country."
"Is the nation exhausted? Extremely. Does that imply we are prepared to surrender? Any person who thinks so is profoundly wrong," Zelenskyy added.
He voiced skepticism about Moscow's aims, stating that should troops withdrew from the Donbas region, the war would not necessarily end. "Pull out from the Donbas, and everything will end. This is how deception translates," he remarked.
EU Leaders to Plan Post-War Security
In related news, France's President Emmanuel Macron stated that EU allies and partners gathering in Paris on 6 January will make firm commitments towards ensuring the security of Ukraine after any agreement with Moscow is reached.
Reciprocal Attacks Continue
At the same time, accounts of military actions persisted. An official from Ukraine's security service said that Ukrainian long-range drones struck a fuel storage facility in the Russian city of Rybinsk, causing a large fire.
On the other side, in Ukraine, a Russian-launched aerial assault struck residential blocks and energy infrastructure in Odesa, wounding several people, among them minors. Officials said four apartment buildings were damaged and significant damage was reported to two power facilities.
Disputed Claims Over Aerial Incident
Regarding recent claims of a drone attack aimed at a property of Russian leader, US and European authorities agree that Ukrainian forces did not target the incident. A report indicated that US security officials concluded the alleged attack "did not happen".
Reacting, Russia's defence ministry released a footage claiming to show fragments of a destroyed Ukrainian-made drone. An official from Ukraine's foreign ministry dismissed the evidence as "laughable" and suggested it showed a lack of credibility in fabricating the narrative.
EU Official Labels Allegations a "Diversion"
The EU's top diplomat called Russia's claims "a deliberate distraction". "Nobody should believe baseless claims from the aggressor," she remarked.
Additional Developments
- DPRK Role: The DPRK's leader, Kim Jong-un, reportedly praised troops serving in an "alien territory" in a New Year message. Intelligence assessments suggest the country has sent a significant number of personnel to support Russia's invasion in Ukraine.
- Sanctions Extension: United States authorities have according to a minister granted a temporary exemption from sanctions to a Serbian, majority Russian-owned energy firm until 23 January. The company manages Serbia's sole refinery.
