Foreign leaders voice support for Ukrainians as they celebrate Christmas despite Russia's war
Foreign leaders have voiced their support for Ukraine in their Christmas messages as the Ukrainians are facing their most difficult winter holidays in the country's independent history.
Despite the holiday season, Ukrainian soldiers are putting their lives at risk to defend cities from deadly Russian assaults, with the fiercest battle unfolding near Bakhmut, Donetsk Oblast.
Many Ukrainians are spending Christmas in unfamiliar countries, separated from their families. Some 28 million people remaining in war-torn Ukraine are grappling with severe power outages amid the threat of a potential missile strike.
