End of year press conference of Volodymyr Zelensky: the main points of the president's statements

▪️I am sure that the USA will not betray us, and what we agreed on, the USA will fully fulfill

▪️No one knows if the war will end in 2024, and neither do the partners. All predictions are just opinions.

▪️The lack of aviation from the Allies affected the course of the counteroffensive. Ukraine is working on additional military aid.

▪️Zelensky did not discuss a ceasefire or a dialogue with Putin with Orban.

▪️ There was a conflict with Poland over grain. Ukraine lost hundreds of millions of dollars and part of the crop. Ukraine cannot make compromises - it is a matter of survival.

▪️ Ukraine will not change its strategy aimed at liberating the occupied territories - and will not refuse to return to the borders of 1991.

▪️Ukraine is not invited to NATO - none of the member countries have done so. Signals regarding participation in the Alliance are delusional.

▪️I have a working relationship with Zaluzhny, he must be responsible for the result on the battlefield. I am waiting for specific things on the battlefield. There is a strategy, I want to see the details.

▪️ I will not sign the mobilization of women. Regarding the lowering of the mobilization age to 25 years - if there is an argument, I agree with it.

▪️The process of exchanging prisoners has become more complicated, but the track will open. A good number of our guys are being worked on now to get them back.

▪️We will make a million drones next year.

▪️Many Ukrainians will return to Ukraine when there is a more reliable air defense system, as well as because Europe will reduce support programs.
