President Zelensky urges his people to persevere as Russian attacks leave millions without power.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged his people to persevere in the face of Russian attacks as the country celebrates Christmas.
Earlier on Saturday, Russian air strikes killed 10 people in Ukraine's southern Kherson city, officials said. In a post on social media, he showed pictures of streets strewn with bodies and burning cars, saying "the world must see and understand what absolute evil we are fighting against". Moscow has repeatedly denied targeting civilians in its attacks. However, President Vladimir Putin has recently admitted that Russian troops have been hitting Ukraine's critical energy facilities.Most Ukrainians are Orthodox Christians, and mark Christmas Eve - the main day of the festive season in the country - on 6 January.
"We will celebrate our holidays! As always. We will smile and be happy. As always. The difference is one. We will not wait for a miracle. After all, we create it ourselves."
