In his annual New Year's Eve address, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia believes it will win the war in Ukraine. The speech, delivered on December 31, 2025, marked 26 years since he assumed the presidency. Putin called on Russians to support the troops engaged in the ongoing offensive, which began in February 2022. He expressed confidence in victory despite the ongoing conflict and peace negotiations. The address also referenced Putin's reshaping of Russia, his positive views on Josef Stalin, and his efforts to restore Russia's standing after the Soviet Union's dissolution. The speech comes amid fears in Europe that the Kremlin’s Ukraine war could spillover into its borders if it doesn’t end soon.
