According to the prime minister, the war also posed new tasks, including humanitarian demining, attracting assistance for fortification protection needs, and confiscation of Russian assets.

"I thank the diplomats for the results that we see every day. I believe that together we can do more. I wish you energy, strength, inspiration and optimism so that 2024 will be successful, productive and victorious for Ukraine," he said.
