“We Will Do Everything to Stop Russia and End the War in 2025” – Zelensky Vows
In a powerful New Year address, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed that 2025 would be a pivotal year for his country in its ongoing battle to end Russia’s nearly three-year-long invasion.
Speaking just before midnight in Kyiv, Zelensky acknowledged that peace would not be handed to Ukraine, but vowed to push forward with all available means.
“We know that peace will not be given to us as a gift, but we will do everything to stop Russia and end the war,” he declared.
The war, which has now entered its third year, has cost Ukraine dearly.
In 2024, Ukraine lost seven times more territory to Russia than in the previous year, a sign of the ongoing struggle against a well-equipped and resourceful Russian army.
In response, Zelensky made it clear that Ukraine would continue to fight on all fronts, both on the battlefield and diplomatically, to ensure it is in a strong position ahead of any potential peace negotiations.
“Every day in the coming year, I, and all of us, must fight for a Ukraine that is strong enough,” he said.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
