At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the EU's lack of political will in countering Russia and addressing global issues. Speaking on Thursday, Zelensky described Europe as "fragmented" and seemingly lost in the face of challenges. This criticism contrasted with his usual positive tone towards the EU, a major political and financial supporter of Ukraine. Earlier, Zelensky met with U.S. President Donald Trump and secured an agreement on post-war security guarantees for Ukraine, which are ready to be signed and ratified. He questioned the delays in establishing a European war crimes tribunal, suggesting a lack of political will within the EU.
