Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has sent Christmas wishes to the UK, as he thanked Rishi Sunak and the British public for their support in the country’s fight against Russia.
Earlier, the Prime Minister had tweeted a short video with the message: “This Christmas, we’re with you Ukraine.”
Mr Zelensky tweeted back: “I’m grateful to Rishi Sunak and the entire British people! We feel your support. We feel the light and the warmth of your hearts.
I’m grateful to @RishiSunak and the entire British people! We feel your support. We feel the light and the warmth of your hearts. Light always prevails over darkness. Thus together, we will defeat evil and restore peace in Ukraine, Europe, and the world. Merry Christmas, friends! https://t.co/hMNFCA6YBX
