The head of state noted that “we keep a distance, but we do not turn away from each other. We wear masks, but we want to see smiles on the faces of our parents, our loved ones, our children, our Ukraine. May harmony come to every family with Christmas, prosperity to every home, and millennial peace and prosperity to the Ukrainian land”.
At the end of his congratulations, Vladimir Zelensky wished “everyone a merry, warm, tasty, and most importantly – healthy Christmas holidays”.
