President Volodymyr Zelensky used a speech at the World Economic Forum on Jan. 22 to deliver a sharp warning to Europe, accusing its leaders of recognizing global threats year after year while failing to act decisively.
“Just last year, here in Davos, I ended my speech by saying Europe needs to know how to defend itself,” Zelensky said. “A year has passed, and nothing has changed. I am forced to say the same words again.”
Zelensky spoke shortly after holding talks with U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the forum, in what marked their first in-person meeting this year.
After the talks, the Ukrainian president said a two-day trilateral meeting involving Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia is scheduled to begin on Jan. 23 in the United Arab Emirates.
The US hasn’t sent a single cent worth of aid to Ukraine since January 2025. Trump can’t drop Ukraine any further.
Europe stepped up for a bit, but then let the aid sent drop to a much lower level again. We’re still helping, but not nearly enough.
This is not true. Not to mention the defense bill just passed in December earmarks support for Ukraine. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/1071/text

This aid tracker says otherwise, but maybe it changed since the last update…
