00:01Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered his traditional address to Ukrainians on Christmas Eve
00:07and wished for an unexpected Christmas miracle.
00:11Without actually naming his Russian counterpart,
00:14Zelenskyy implied that Ukrainians, including himself,
00:18wished Vladimir Putin would perish, but stressed that their greater desire is to achieve peace.
00:30If to tell them their dream, it will be true.
00:35Today the dream of all of us is one.
00:38And our wish is to remind one of all.
00:43What would he have done?
00:45Every one will say about himself.
00:47But when we return to God, of course, we ask further.
00:53We ask for peace for Ukraine.

01:01and despite ongoing peace talks led by the U.S.

01:20since its full-scale invasion in 2022 instead of agreeing to a ceasefire.
01:30The UK's King Charles has called for reconciliation and unity after what he described as a year of deepening division.
01:37The remarks were made as the British monarch delivered the traditional annual Christmas message.
01:43King Charles called on the youth to uphold British values of inclusivity and find strength in their diversity to ensure right prevails over wrong.
01:54In this, with the great diversity of our communities, we can find the strength to ensure that right triumphs over wrong.
02:05It seems to me that we need to cherish the values of compassion and reconciliation, the way our Lord lived and died.
02:15Charles cited the spirit of the Second World War generation, who he said came together to overcome adversity, adding that the British people should unite to fight against a further fragmentation of society.
02:28He also praised those who worked to preserve the social fabric and urged the public to stand against those who sow division.

02:45The Paniff remembered the people in Gaza as well as refugees displaced all over the world, calling for greater protection of the
02:52defenceless populations.
02:57The word has established among us its fragile tent.
03:01It is like not to think of the tent of Gaza,
03:05from the weeks exposed to the rain, the wind and the cold,
03:10and those of many other refugees and refugees in every continent,
03:15or to the remains of thousands of people without delay in our cities.
03:24The fragile is the flesh of the enormous population,
03:29tried by many wars in the course,
03:32or ended by leaving wounds and wounds open.
03:37The Pope, delivering an address at St. Peter's Basilica to thousands of faithful,
03:42stressed that the world's many conflicts can only be resolved through dialogue.

04:24that continue to rage across multiple continents.
04:28He said the world is currently marked by, quote,
04:32the inevitability of suffering, violence, war and hatred,
04:36and called on increased dialogue and cooperation to restore peace.
04:40The Christmas Mass was the second to be held in the Gothic Cathedral since its reopening in December last year,
04:47after it was closed for five years following a major fire.
