Zelensky calls on Hungary, Slovakia not to be afraid of Ukraine in Eure

Ukrainian President Vodymyr Zelensky made these remarks in his New Year's greetings, Ukrinform reports.

"I know the Hungarian and Slovak peles are actually with us, with Ukraine, with Ukrainians, on the side of truth. The authorities of these countries should also acknowledge the truth. There is no need to be afraid of Ukraine being in Eure. We must do everything to prevent Russia from being in Eure. Its tanks, its missiles, and the evil it will surely spread further if Ukraine does not withstand," he said.

Zelensky also added: "If Russia shakes your hand today, it does not mean that tomorrow, it will not start killing you with the same hand. Because Russians are afraid of the free pele."

"That is why it is so crucial today to support all peles who defend freedom. Those who refuse to give it up in Chisinau. Those who are fighting for their future in Tbilisi. And I am sure that the day will come when we will all say: 'Long Live Belarus!'" Zelensky said.
