Secrecy surrounds Zelenskyy’s press conference on Russian invasion’s second year
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to address the nation today, Dec. 19, marking the close of the second year of Russia’s extensive invasion.
The President’s Office has granted limited accreditation to one correspondent, cameraperson, and photographer per media outlet.
Details about the undisclosed location and time were shared with accredited journalists via confirmation letters, reflecting heightened security concerns.
Zelenskyy, known for engaging with Western media grants interviews to Ukrainian media less often.
Anticipated topics include Zelenskyy’s relations with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, specifically Chief Commander Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
The discussion is likely to extend to challenges faced by Ukraine in 2024 amid the ongoing conflict with Russia, with a spotlight on internal divergences in the United States and the European Union hindering Western support.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
