#Peace Talks

On December 31, as the final seconds of 2025 tick away, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivers a focused and forward-looking New Year’s address to the Ukrainian people. Speaking as the country enters its fourth year of full-scale war, Zelenskyy reflects on Ukraine’s efforts toward achieving a just peace and maintaining national resilience.

The Russian leader accused Ukraine of attempting a drone strike on his residence and suggested Moscow could reconsider its position in peace talks, claims Kyiv has firmly denied as fabricated. The allegations prompted a cautious response from Donald Trump, who acknowledged uncertainty over the facts, and drew sharp criticism from a US lawmaker who publicly labeled the Russian leader “a well-known boldface liar.”
