Zelensky thanked Ukrainian soldiers, who last night delivered tangible blows at Russian targets. "Military targets on the territory of Russia were hit, as were fuel and energy complex facilities that feed aggression against our country and people," he emphasized.

The Commander-in-Chief reported on the details of the strikes, the president noted.

"These are precisely the long-range and accuracy that, step by step, are bringing Russia back to reality – to the reality that the war must be ended," Zelensky said.

According to the president, Syrskyi also reported on the developments on all the main frontline axes. “The hottest ones are in Donetsk region, namely the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove directions. Fierce fighting is underway. The Russian army, as in November, is now, in December, wasting a record number of their people in battles and assaults. These months – November and December – see record Russian casualties."

The president thanked all the soldiers for their resilience. "I’d particularly like to praise soldiers from the 68th Separate Jaeger Brigade, the 25th Separate Airborne Brigade, and the 38th Separate Marine Brigade for their performance at the front," Zelensky emphasized.

According to the president, the commander-in-chief also reported on the situation in the areas where the Kursk raid is being conducted.
