Zelensky: World has seen again these days that Russia is lying

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his video address to the nation, Ukrinform reports with reference to the president’s press service.

“The world has seen again these days that Russia lies even when it draws attention to the situation at the front with its own statements. Russian shelling of Kherson with incendiary ammunition right after Christmas. Strikes on Kramatorsk and other cities of Donbas - exactly on civilian objects and exactly when Moscow reported on the alleged "silence" of their army. More threats of Russian officials to Europe and the world. All this was when Moscow was talking about the alleged ‘truce’,” the President said.

Zelensky stressed that no attempt by Russia to manipulate diplomacy and politics will ever work again.

“Only the strengthening of Ukraine, only the successes of Ukraine, only the restoration of territorial integrity of Ukraine, only the return of all our people from Russian captivity are the guarantees of peace. We are bringing it closer every day,” he said.

As reported by Ukrinform, Russian propaganda media said Russian President Vladimir Putin, allegedly ordered that a "ceasefire regime" be introduced along the entire line of contact in Ukraine from 12:00 on January 6 to 24:00 on January 7.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, despite this, over the past day, the enemy launched nine missile attacks, three air strikes and carried out 40 attacks using multiple launch rocket systems, targeting, in particular, civilian infrastructure. As a result of the attacks, civilian casualties were reported.
