Ukraine's Zelenskyy predicts 'difficult year ahead' as fierce fighting — now in its 308th day — rages over bombed-out ghost city Bakhmut and around Svatove and Kreminna cities Follow our live coverage👇
Ukrainian servicemen fire with a CAESAR self-propelled howitzer towards Russian positions in eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged Ukrainians to hug loved ones, tell friends they appreciate them, support colleagues, thank their parents and rejoice with their children more often."And we will not lose it, although there is a difficult year ahead."
Zelenskyy has been pushing a 10-point peace plan that envisages Russia fully respecting Ukraine's territorial integrity and pulling out all its troops. But the Kremlin rejected the plan, repeating its stance that the Kiev government must accept Russia's annexation of four Ukrainian regions: Luhansk and Donetsk in the east, and Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the south.
