For the second year in a row, two Ukrainian TV channels, Channel 5 and Pryamoy, broadcast President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s New Year’s greetings after welcoming the fifth president and leader of the European Solidarity Party, Petro Poroshenko.
It should be noted that in 2019, the 1 + 1 TV channel showed for the first time the congratulations of the current president, who at that time announced his desire to run in the 2019 elections. Only after that was the New Year’s speech on then head of state Petro Poroshenko.
This year, Poroshenko, in particular, addressed the Ukrainians together with his wife and recently elected deputy of the Kiev City Council, Marina Poroshenko. In his speech, he noted that despite the difficult year 2020, Ukrainians showed an incredible amount of patience, courage, kindness and love, and only came out stronger, wiser, and better.
“The twentieth year has hit us a lot, but it has made us better, stronger, wiser. So much courage and kindness … So much patience and altruism … We Ukrainians have shown so much humanity and love this year,” Poroshenko said in a 5-minute video speech.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in the children’s circle, spoke about Ukraine’s biggest problems and achievements in 2020. They say that Ukrainians had tears of pain and pride.
“There was something we were ashamed of, and something we are proud of. Something that I want to forget. And something that we will never forget. And there were those with whom we even became great friends. Those with whom we became strategic partners. Those with those who tried to fight us, but failed, “said the head of state.
Despite this, Ukrainians on social media staged a heated discussion around New Year’s greetings from President Volodymyr Zelensky. He achieved this especially by using children in the video, with which, in his opinion, he covered himself from criticism of society.
They left the corresponding comments below the publication of the president’s congratulations video on OBOZREVATEL’s official Facebook page. True, there are those who defend the guarantor, they say, that he cannot please the entire population of Ukraine.
As OBOZREVATEL reported, in his New Year’s speech, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said that he wants to declare peace directly during his visit to Donbass and Crimea.
