“Unfortunately, we have not yet ended the war in the east of our state.

And this is my main goal.

That is why I say goodbye.

Because the next year will definitely be better! "

- said the Ukrainian leader.

He added that the contact line in Donbass will disappear from the map when it disappears from the minds of Ukrainian citizens.

French President Emmanuel Macron has previously stated the need to find a "lasting solution" to the conflict in Donbass.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz noted that Germany and France intend to revive the Normandy format and make it effective again.

According to him, this was discussed with the Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.
