We have been experiencing "Groundhog Day" for years: Zelenskyy stated that Europe still does not know how to protect itself
![]() 1174 Friday, 23 January, 2026, 11:56 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that last year he emphasized that Europe should know how to defend itself, but nothing has changed since then. Zelenskyy said this during the World Economic Forum in Davos. "Everyone remembers the wonderful American movie "Groundhog Day". Yes, but no one would want to live like that, repeating the same thing for weeks, months, years. And yet, that's how we live now. This is our life. Last year in Davos, I concluded my speech with the words: "Europe must know how to defend itself." A year has passed and nothing has changed. We are still in a situation where I have to say the same words. But why? The answer is not only in the threats that exist or may appear"- said Zelenskyy. "Thankfully, the European Union decided to freeze Russian assets indefinitely, and I am grateful for that. Thank you, Ursula. Thank you, António, and all the leaders who helped. But when the time came to use those assets to defend against Russian aggression, the decision was blocked. Putin managed this. Yes — managed to stop Europe" he added. |
