In his address at the World Economic Forum, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged European nations to enhance their security spending and take initiative in their defense. He expressed frustration with European reliance on U.S. military support, suggesting an imbalance in obligations. Zelensky criticized negotiations occurring without Ukraine's involvement, indicating the necessity for American troop commitment to ensure credible security guarantees. This stance has prompted other European leaders to seek similar commitments from the U.S., raising questions about military responsibility amidst ongoing tensions with Russia.
Zelensky believes Europe must independently bolster its security spending, moving beyond years of neglect, while also expecting the U.S. to guarantee Ukraine's defense.
Zelensky's approach at Davos emphasized that without full American involvement, Ukraine's future security hinges on diplomatic negotiations that require U.S. military support.
