Europe, Russia and Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called into question the U.S.' commitment to its allies in Europe. Zelenskyy said President Donald Trump's first act as president — the signing of a raft of executive orders on a raft of domestic issues — suggested his administration would not be overly concerned with Europe's future.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the Davos Forum that a meeting with US President Donald Trump is being prepared, but no date has been set yet. He also reiterated the importance of strong security guarantees for Ukraine to bring an end to the active phase of the war.
Ukrainian president calls on European politicians to “be more than just bystanders” who are “reduced to posting on X after an agreement has already been made.”
Zelenskyy barely addressed Trump’s professed desire to bring a swift end to the war — although the US president and his advisers have recently said it could take six months to reach a deal, rather than his campaign boast of 24 hours. Nor did he address those Trump supporters who have called for an end to US aid to Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that if a ceasefire deal were enacted with Russia, "at least 200,000 European peacekeepers" would need to be on the ground in Ukraine to defend the Eastern European country against a possible attack by Russia.

Sharing a post on X, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote, "We met with President of Israel @Isaac_Herzog to discuss important issues of Ukrainian-Israeli cooperation. Ukraine is glad to see people who were in captivity returning home.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Europe that it has “no chance” against Russia without Ukraine. Speaking to Polish media outlet Onet, Zelenskyy said that Ukraine’s victory was vital to stopping the Kremlin before it could invade the rest of Europe.
