Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said U.S. President Donald Trump 'will not change' following their one-hour meeting. Zelensky described the meeting as good and very important, thanking Trump for taking the time to speak. After the meeting, held in Davos, Zelensky addressed world leaders, noting that America’s position is changing but no one is certain how. He questioned how Europe would keep pace with such rapid changes.

Zelensky criticized European leaders for avoiding decisive action on Ukraine, saying some leaders, though European, are not acting in Europe’s interest. He added that some powerful leaders still seek direction from others and question how long they must remain firm. According to Zelensky, no great power can function this way, and Europe must learn to defend itself.

He warned that the current challenges facing the continent pose serious threats to the European way of life, emphasizing the need for unity and self-reliance among European nations.
