“Europe cannot afford to be second or third in line for its allies. If this happens, the world will start moving forward without Europe,” the Ukrainian president emphasized.
Zelenskyi also called on European countries to achieve real energy independence. “President Trump is going to export more energy, but Europe needs to step up and do more long-term work to ensure real energy independence. One cannot continue to buy gas from Moscow while expecting security guarantees from the Americans. This is simply wrong,” the President of Ukraine emphasized.
He also emphasized the need for joint production of weapons, in particular drones and air defense systems, emphasizing the successful experience of Ukraine’s cooperation with European partners.
The president paid particular attention to the technological backwardness of Europe. “Europe is already lagging behind in the development of artificial intelligence. The fate of small countries already depends more on the decisions of technology companies than on their own laws,” he noted.
According to Zelenskyi, Europe deserves to be strong, and for this it needs both the EU and NATO. At the same time, he emphasized that this is impossible without Ukraine and without a fair end to the Russian war against Ukraine.
Davos, Switzerland, is the traditional venue for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. The war that Russia is waging against Ukraine is one of the topics of discussion among leading politicians, businessmen and public figures from many countries of the world. The annual meeting in Davos is the first global event of this level since the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, who promised to make efforts to end the Russian-Ukrainian war.
