More adults. We were finally united not by disaster, but by a holiday. We are learning to unite. We are learning to unite not against someone, but for ourselves. We learn to respect each other and ourselves. Therefore, we do not wait, until the world will solve our problems and someone will return our land to us for us, “the president said.
In particular, he clarified that Ukraine “rallied the world” for the liberation of Crimea and this year “Crimea is Ukraine!”
According to Zelenskiy, Ukraine has returned Crimea to the global agenda so that it can be said: “We have returned Crimea to Ukraine”, as well as return all prisoners.

They are so afraid that they scare us all. But gas prices for our citizens did not rise. And this is a fact. They scared us that we would be hungry. And for the first time we collected more than 100 million tons of harvest, and this is a record for an independent state.
By the way, they collected it on the ground, which was supposed to be taken out in wagons. At least they scared us that way. But the land market started up. Millions of Ukrainians have become the real owners of their land, “he said.
The head of state stressed that all international partners of Ukraine spoke positively about the launch of the land market, about whom they “were afraid that they would turn their backs on us.”
As UNIAN previously reported, in the last minutes of 2021, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the Ukrainians with New Year’s greetings.
