Images show residents of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, cheering, singing and whistling from their windows to celebrate New Year.

In a video address on New Year’s Eve, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Russia’s missile barrage in Ukraine.

“Today, this Russian missile attack is not the end of the year, no matter how much the terrorists want it. It's the outcome of Russia's fate,” he said.

Reacting to the Russian air assault on Ukraine skies nationwide Saturday, Zelenskyy said, “The terrorist state will not be forgiven. And those who give orders for such strikes, and those who carry them out, will not receive a pardon. To put it mildly.”

“The explosions on February 24 stunned us,” the Ukrainian president said about the first day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. “We were told you have no other option, but to surrender. We say we have no other option than to win.”

“We haven't lost anything,” Zelenskyy said. “It was taken from us. ... We did not lose our lands – they were occupied by invaders. The world did not lose peace – Russia destroyed it.”

About 30 minutes into the new year, more explosions rocked Kyiv as Russia again launched missiles at the capital. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram that two districts of the city were hit, but there was no immediate word about casualties.

The heart is like a mirror, reflecting the evil of
the world. If all we see is nothing but vice and
strife, then eventually we will end up turning to evil.
Only when our hearts reflect all the good in
the world will our hearts be filled with kindness.
Only when our hearts reflect nothing will we
be able to see the emptiness of the five aggregates.
