Zelensky Addresses Russian Pilots

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has stated that every Russian pilot must make a clear choice for themselves: to continue participating in the conflict or not, as Ukraine's air defense system is only getting stronger. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine.

According to him, on the evening preceding Christmas, Ukrainian forces shot down about 30 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and several missiles. “Every Russian pilot must make a clear choice for themselves: to continue participating in this war. Our air defense is only going to strengthen. Moreover, when we receive additional systems that have already been agreed upon, including F-16s,” Zelensky said.

Earlier, the Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Igor Zhovkva, did not rule out future negotiations between Volodymyr Zelensky and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. He noted that Kyiv will “prepare for this visit, and teams will work on it.” Previously, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban had stated that Kyiv is responsible for the deterioration of Hungarian-Ukrainian relations.
