SWITZERLAND - Volodymyr Zelensky said Europe was weak and fragmented in a speech at Davos, attacking its leaders for being too indecisive to stand up to Russia, China or Donald Trump. The Ukrainian president said European powers were too busy arguing among themselves to join together and become a “truly global power”. In a remarkably aggressive address to the World Economic Forum on Thursday, he said the countries funding the Ukrainian war effort “love to discuss the future but avoid taking action today”. He singled out the decision to send “40 soldiers” to Greenland as insufficient to protect the island. The Ukrainian president mocked European nations for sending too few troops to the island for any meaningful defence. “Forty soldiers will not protect anything,” he said. “What message does that send to Putin, to China – and even more importantly, what message does that send to Denmark, your close ally?”
