Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blasted his European allies Thursday for what he portrayed as the continent’s slow, fragmented and inadequate response to Russia’s invasion nearly four years ago and its continued international aggression.

Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Zelenskyy listed a litany of grievances and criticisms of Europe that he said have left Ukraine at the mercy of Russian President Vladimir Putin amid an ongoing U.S. push for a peace settlement.

He hasn't realized he's just a tool yet?

He's not wrong.

Can't crush Russias regime, though. One has to keep an eye on Russia's nuclear arsenal. Some of these ICBMs might actually be able to fly.

And one must be careful to not generate a disbalance of power between opposing (or even neighboring) countries or Gaza happens all over again. Because the stronger one can. It's only human. :( - already some people in France are looking anxiously towards Germany's military buildup.

Still. The argument that you need to have means to steer things your way is correct - military, economically, diplomatic. If you can make the additional expenses and budget cuts look advantageous to the general public.

The US is dead set against Ukraine now. They just cannot directly repudiate the alliance now, the admin needs the military on their side.

They even want to blow up nato, trying to use greenland to do so, but apparently found the patriotic fervor of expansion could not overcome our fraternity with europe, yet.

The president is compromized by both russia and israel, and in alliance with them. Both have hoardes of kompromat on politicians and swells it is not limited to the president

It really is true, I am surprised how so many could not see it
