Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his New Year's Eve address late Wednesday that his country was "10 percent" away from an agreement to end the war with Russia.

"The peace agreement is 90 percent ready. Ten percent remains. And that is far more than just numbers," Zelensky said in the video message posted on his Telegram account.

"Those are the ten percent that will determine the fate of peace, the fate of Ukraine and Europe," he added.
