President Zelensky States The Nation Was Ten Percent Away from Peace, Yet Not at Any Price
In a year-end message, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated that a possible peace deal was ninety percent complete. "This deal is 90% complete, 10% is left," he noted. "And that is far more than just figures."
A Deal Needs Strong Guarantees, Not a Fragile Ceasefire
Zelenskyy made clear that his country seeks peace but would not accept it at "any possible price". "What does our nation desires? Peace? Absolutely. No matter the price? No," he declared. "We want an end to the war but not the destruction of Ukraine."
"Is the nation weary? Very. Does that imply we are prepared to capitulate? Any person who believes that is profoundly wrong," Zelenskyy continued.
He expressed doubt about Russian aims, suggesting that should troops pulled out from the Donbas Donbas, the conflict would not end. "Pull out from the Donbas, and everything will end. This is how deception sounds," he remarked.

Separately, France's President Emmanuel Macron announced that European allies and partners meeting in Paris on 6 January will make solid commitments towards protecting Ukraine after any peace deal with Moscow is brokered.
Cross-Border Strikes Reported

In Ukraine, a Russian aerial assault hit apartment buildings and the power grid in Odesa, injuring several people, among them children. Local authorities said multiple apartment buildings were affected and significant damage was reported to two energy facilities.
Disputed Claims Over Drone Incident
Regarding previous claims of a drone attack targeting a property of Russian president, American and European officials are in agreement that Ukrainian forces was not behind the event. A report stated that US national security officials concluded the alleged attack "did not happen".
In response, The Russian ministry of defense published a footage purporting to show fragments of a downed Ukrainian drone. A Ukrainian ministry of foreign affairs dismissed the evidence as "laughable" and stated it demonstrated a lack of credibility in creating the story.
