Putin makes no mention of Ukraine war in New Year’s Eve speech
The presidents of Russia and Ukraine took starkly different approaches to their New Year’s Eve speeches late Sunday as their nations rang in yet another new year under war.
As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave a lengthy, poetic speech uplifting his country’s strength and unity in the face of terror, Russia’s Vladimir Putin gave no mention to the brutal war he launched nearly two years ago that’s so far killed or injured about a half-million troops.
