Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sharply criticized Europe's military support during a speech in Davos, Switzerland.
He stated that a recent European mission to defend Greenland showed the continent's weakness. The mission involved only 30 soldiers.
"Thirty European soldiers won’t stop anyone," Zelenskyy said. He argued this small force symbolizes a larger problem.
The President said Europe currently looks "more like geography than a political force." He implied Europe is not acting with enough unity or strength.
Zelenskyy continues to urge Western allies for more substantial weapons and support for Ukraine's war effort.
