Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Tuesday that 2025 will be decisive in determining who wins the war, in an address to parliament on the 1,000th day of the war. Zelensky, presenting a “resilience plan” to Ukraine with the war at a decisive moment, spoke after Washington gave Kyiv a long-awaited approval to fire US missiles into Russian territory. “In the decisive moments — and they are coming next year — we must not allow anyone in the world to doubt the resilience of our entire state. And at this stage, it is being decided who will prevail,” Zelensky told Ukrainian lawmakers. “This battle is not only about Pokrovsk, Kupiansk or any other city, town or village, not only about this or that region of ours. This battle is about the whole of Ukraine, the battle is about the whole of Europe, about order or chaos for the whole world,” he said. Moscow has significantly ramped up aerial attacks on Ukrainian cities ahead of winter, and received more than 10,000 combat troops from North Korea to put into battle.
