Putin is destroying you - Zelensky tells Russians

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has told Russians that their leader is destroying their country.

Speaking after Vladimir Putin's New Year address delivered while flanked by people in military uniform, Mr Zelensky said the Russian president was hiding behind his troops, not leading them.

On a day of deadly Russian air strikes across Ukraine, he said Ukrainians would not forgive Russia.

At least one person died and dozens were injured in the attacks

The head of Ukraine's armed forces, Valerii Zaluzhny, said air defences had shot down 12 of 20 Russian cruise missiles.
