Ukraine's hope: Polish EU leadership and energy shifts
"We are convinced that the Polish Presidency will make Europe stronger," writes Volodymyr Zelensky on the platform X. The President of Ukraine referred to Poland taking over the presidency of the EU.
In his New Year's post, Zelensky also addressed another Russian attack on Ukraine. "This morning, after yet another attack by Russian combat drones, highlights the key priorities once again: Europe’s defense capabilities require constant strengthening. Only through strength can Russia be forced into peace," he wrote.
"Our cooperation across the continent and integration processes demand greater urgency in implementing decisions. We look forward to tangible progress in negotiations regarding Ukraine’s accession to the EU," emphasized the President of Ukraine.
End of Russian gas deliveries through Ukraine
This was not the only post Zelensky made on platform X on Wednesday. The President of Ukraine also addressed the cessation of Russian gas transit through his country. "The more gas available on the market from Europe's true partners, the sooner the last remaining consequences of Europe's reliance on Russia will be eliminated," he wrote.
"As a result of Russia weaponizing energy and resorting to cynical blackmail of partners, Moscow lost one of the most profitable and geographically accessible markets," Zelensky emphasized.
