Despite all the challenges that the past year, 2025, brought to our state, Poroshenko is convinced: Ukraine will survive.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> &#8220;What are we entering the new year, 2026, with? With schedules of outages three through six. With monitoring groups and a map of air alerts in quick access. With alarming news about movement at the front and confusing messages about peace agreements. Our team dragged everything to the front over the year &#8211; from drones, &#8220;Sukorki&#8221; to heavy equipment and generators. Over a hundred and fifty trips and transfers, even more meetings with our soldiers. We met with some of you in courts and during the release &#8211; I don&#8217;t even want to say it out loud &#8211; of political prisoners from Bankova,&#8221; the opposition leader recalled.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;All together we followed the news during the unique Operation &#8220;Website&#8221; for the whole world, and with pleasure we counted the destroyed Russian planes that fired missiles at the peaceful cities of Ukraine. We rejoiced for our own when our incredible drone pilots sent an enemy helicopter to the other world with a small FPS,&#8221; Poroshenko said.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DB3opeKfeN8&#038;t=1s<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/new-years-greetings-from-the-president-of-ukraine-for-2026-online-video-broadcast\/\">New Year&#8217;s greetings from the President of Ukraine for 2026: online video broadcast<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> &#8220;All together we mourned our deceased friend and great Ukrainian Andriy Parubiy. All together we watched with indignation as the judicial system exposed the &#8220;octopus Portnov&#8221;, who received a ticket to a Kobzon concert somewhere in Spain. We were all pleasantly surprised, incredibly proud of the thousands of young people who came out to the Franko Theater with cardboard signs and with their energy, faith, and the power of truth prevented the final usurpation of power,&#8221; Poroshenko stated.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The most action-packed series of the year, undoubtedly, for all of us were the NABU tapes. Exposing corruption in the highest offices of the country. Disappointment, indignation, loss of trust,&#8221; the fifth President noted.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;It was a difficult year. A year when we all had a small chance, a short window of opportunity through diplomacy to achieve quick peace for Ukraine. But this chance was wasted, and now the entire country, with bated breath, is watching the progress of the negotiations. We are all counting the days when the countdown of losses will end &#8211; people, territories. When we will not be forced to choose &#8211; dignity or surrender,&#8221; Poroshenko said.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;But it was also a wonderful year. A year when you and I were a support for each other, faced serious problems and had heartfelt conversations. A year when our soldiers and designers learned how to land enemy reconnaissance drones and even KABs using the Ai-Petri complexes. A year when we first began to deliver homing drones, advanced Aspirin 2 drone detectors, and armored medevacs to the front. A year when we issued hundreds of grants for veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war &#8211; in order to pay tribute to them and give them a chance for a happy peaceful life,&#8221; Petro Poroshenko recalled.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/final-transfer-of-the-year-a-dozen-and-a-half-brigades-received-lightning-bolts-from-poroshenko\/\">Final transfer of the year: a dozen and a half brigades received \u201cLightning Bolts\u201d from Poroshenko<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> &#8220;This was a year when we all together not only prayed for Ukraine, but acted in small steps for the sake of Ukrainian soldiers, for the sake of the smiles of our children. So that it would become a little easier and warmer for all of us,&#8221; added Maryna Poroshenko.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;This evening, welcoming the new year, 2026, raise your glasses for those who are no longer with us, who gave their lives so that we could HAVE life. Thank the soldiers, because, I&#8217;m sure, everyone has a loved one at the front. Hug, congratulate, ask how you can help,&#8221; the leader of &#8220;European Solidarity&#8221; called.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I look to the future with optimism. Because no nation in the world has experienced as much as we have all gone through, experienced and survived. And that is why you too can be sure: we will endure. We have already gone through an incredible journey. And further on it is only life. And our symbols, which now finally unite the entire state and the entire people. Army, Language, Faith, EU and NATO. And for a common future in such a country, we will all fight together,&#8221; said Petro Poroshenko.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitter<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Petro and Maryna Poroshenko congratulated Ukrainians on the New Year 2026.
