Quote: "I always think of the story of an old Ukrainian man, whom the occupiers asked, in Russian: ‘What time is it?’ And he said, in Ukrainian: ‘It’s time for you to get off our land’. This is what will is; will that is impossible to occupy. And I want to say to everyone in the temporarily occupied territories who carries this will inside: Dear Ukrainians! I know that you are celebrating the New Year according to our time zone, and you are hearing these words right now in our Crimea, in Donbas, in Melitopol, in Mariupol – everywhere where people wait for Ukraine’s return and where one day Ukraine will return, for all of us to be together again. The only thing that will stand between Ukrainians will be a generous table."

Details: Zelenskyy also said that "those who are abroad now but who have preserved Ukraine in their hearts" will also be at this table.
