Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a video message at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. “If the freedom to dream were a spear, I proudly present a human being who tonight represents that spear’s most honed tip,” actor Sean Penn said as as he introduced the Ukrainian president to the screen.

Zelensky recalled that the first Golden Globe Awards were held in 1944, when World War II had not ended, but everyone already knew how it would end. “The First World War claimed millions of lives. The Second World War claimed tens of millions of them. There will be no third World War. It is not a trilogy,” Zelensky said, adding that Ukraine would stop the Russian aggression.

Head of the Russian "Wagner" military group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, wrote in Telegram that his forces control the city of Soledar, near Bakhmut. According to Kyiv, fighting in the city continues, but the Ukrainian army said that Russian artillery was controlling communications between Bakhmut and Soledar.

The US-based Institute for the Study of War reported that the Russian occupiers had not captured all of Soledar in Donetsk region and the city was still fighting.
