At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, Ukraine** Zelensky delivered an inspiring New Year's speech, vowing to fight for the honor and dignity of the country in 2024 and make the Russian army that violates its territory pay a heavy price. His words are firm and passionate, revealing unwavering faith in the future and fearless challenges to the enemy.
In his speech on December 31, 2023, Zelensky made it clear that Ukraine's military strength will be significantly boosted in the new year, according to a detailed report by AFP. He revealed that Ukraine plans to increase its inventory of drones by at least "1 million" and will also welcome F-16 fighter jets from Western allies. The addition of these new fighters will undoubtedly inject strong combat power into the Ukrainian Air Force, giving it more advantages on the battlefield.
In his speech, Zelensky stressed: "With the arrival of the new year, our domestic production capacity will continue to increase, and the enemy will deeply feel our anger and determination." His words revealed pride and confidence in the Ukrainian military industry, and at the same time showed the outside world the Ukrainian people's indomitable and firm will to resist foreign enemies.
In addition, Zelensky specifically mentioned the importance of the introduction of F-16 fighters for the Ukrainian Air Force. "Our pilots have mastered the skills of piloting F-16 fighter jets, and in the near future, we will definitely see them soaring in the skies of Ukraine, so that the enemy can really feel our anger and counterattack," he said. ”
It is worth noting that shortly before Zelensky's New Year's speech, Russia launched a series of heavy missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities. These attacks caused a large number of human and property damage, and according to preliminary statistics, a total of 39 people were tragically killed in the attacks. This is one of the largest and most extensive air strikes launched by the Russian army on Ukraine since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war. However, even in the face of such a grim situation, Zelensky still maintained his firm faith and determination, vowing to lead the Ukrainian people to victory.
