Zelensky says peace deal is 90% ready in New Year address

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said a peace agreement to end the war with Russia is "90% ready", in a New Year address that largely focused on resistance to Moscow's full-scale invasion, BBC reported. 

Zelensky said the remaining 10% of the agreement to end nearly four years of conflict would "determine the fate of peace, the fate of Ukraine and Europe".

In his own New Year speech, Russian President Vladimir Putin told his troops that "we believe in you and our victory".
