Zelensky in Davos criticized for the late sanctions against Russia

He called on the world to act ahead

Speaking at the International Economic Forum in Davos, President Volodymyr Zelensky rebuked the world for imposing really effective sanctions against Russia too late, as they failed to prevent a war against Ukraine.

“Can existing institutions be adapted to modern challenges? ? No. We need not only to adapt to new realities what we have, we need to create new tools. It is necessary not to react, but to act, to act preventively, “Zelensky said at the beginning of his speech.

“We have stopped the Russian army, which was called the second in the world. And we are gradually pushing the occupiers out of our land. But would we have to do that if we were listened to last year and applied preventive sanctions that knocked the aggressor off his feet? No, “said Zelensky.

He called not to adapt existing institutions to modern challenges, but to create new ones, to act preventively.

“Ukraine has set another precedent for the whole world – the real emotions of the whole world in response to the situation in Ukraine. We now see Ukraine's solidarity and emotional support around the world. And we are grateful for your support. And if it happened back then? This unity and this pressure, would Russia start this war? I am convinced that the answer to this question is no! “/p> See special topic: Former Secretary of State Kissinger acknowledged that Ukraine's neutrality is no longer possible The former American diplomat said that the war should end before the irreparable consequences appear. “Russia has driven itself into a dead end”: experts in Davos discuss what the new Cold War will be like Experts believe that Moscow is too weak a rival for the Cold War , however, there will probably be no other.
