Zelensky calls on all Ukrainians to be vigilant this Christmas.
– As the holiday season approaches, Russian terrorists may be back in action. They hate Christian values and all values in general, says the president.
She’s asking everyone to listen for the air raid sirens and help each other out this Christmas. Zelenskyj also warns Russia.
– Russian citizens must understand that terror cannot go unanswered, he says.
Before Christmas, experts warned of the danger of attacks in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin is taking the civilian population hostage in his war, said Professor Tormod Heier.
– The attacks are likely to be even more striking as Christmas is one of the most important holidays in Ukraine, whether it is celebrated in a Catholic or Orthodox way. For many Ukrainian residents, spending the Christmas holidays in an atmosphere of fear, suffering and uncertainty can feel very burdensome, Heier said.
– If the bombing continues until Christmas, we will also see a Ukrainian faith community becoming even more visible. The various faiths will most likely assume the role of unifying and reassuring symbol of the existential defense struggle in which the nation finds itself, he said.
