"I congratulate all our soldiers and commanders on the upcoming New Year. We believe in you and in our victory," said Russian President Vladimir Putin in his New Year's greeting.

"Millions of people across Russia, I assure you, are with you on this New Year's Eve. They are thinking of you, they empathize with you, they hope in you. We are united in our sincere, selfless, and devoted love for Russia," the Kremlin leader added in his speech, addressed specifically to the military engaged in the "special operation" in Ukraine.

"Of course," Putin continued, "each of us has our own personal, special and unique destiny, but it is inseparable from the destiny of our homeland." The president also noted that the strength of the unity of the Russian people "determines the sovereignty and

security of the homeland, its development, its future."
