Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sharply criticized Europe for its obvious reluctance to stop Vladimir Putin while his country is under attack against water supply, heating, and energy systems during a freezing winter. This was reported by Bloomberg.

Speaking on Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Zelensky accused European allies of failing to stop the tankers of the Russian shadow fleet, indecision regarding the confiscation of frozen Russian assets, and a lack of will to act as a real global power at moments when U.S. attention shifts to other issues.

'Europe loves to discuss the future but avoids action today,' Zelensky stated. 'Where is the line of leaders ready to act?'

The President of Ukraine delivered a speech after hastily arriving in Davos for a last-minute meeting with Donald Trump. The US President called the meeting 'good' and expressed new hope that the conflict with Russia would end.

Zelensky also criticized the reaction of Western allies to his calls for providing Ukraine with more weapons to defend its airspace and strike deep into Russian territory.

'Here, in Europe, we are advised not to mention 'Tomahawks' to the Americans — to avoid spoiling the mood,' Zelensky said. 'We are told not to raise the topic of Taurus missiles.'

The Ukrainian leader noted that European sanctions are not as effective in restraining Putin as American ones, partly because the need to seek consensus among the continent's leaders slows down decision-making.
