At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pushed for accountability for Russian aggression, insisting Vladimir Putin must face an international war-crimes trial. Amid ongoing peace negotiations and pressure from the U.S., Zelenskyy accused Washington — including former President Donald Trump’s influence — of hypocrisy, saying U.S. pressure for concessions undercuts justice and weakens allied unity in the fight against Russia. His remarks highlight deep tensions within global peace efforts as leaders debate how to end the Ukraine war.

00:00Welcome to Davos again,
00:12dear President Zelensky.
00:14Mr. President, it is really my great honor
00:17to welcome you back to Davos.
00:20This week, Ukraine and its people once again
00:24endured deadly attacks by Russia.
00:28We are approaching four years since the beginning
00:32of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine,
00:35the largest European conflict since World War II.
00:39Mr. President, you have led your country
00:41through one of the most consequential periods
00:45in modern European history.
00:48Under extraordinary circumstances,
00:51Ukraine continues to defend its sovereignty,
00:54its democracy and its people.
00:58While engaging the international community
01:01on questions that extend far beyond its border.
01:05The future of security in Europe,
01:08the resilience of democratic societies,
01:11the state of the rules-based international order,
01:15and the cost of inaction in the face of aggression.
01:19In recent months, the United States has taken a central role
01:24in advancing diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the war,
01:29working closely with Kiev and European partners.
01:32These efforts have resulted in a comprehensive 20-point peace plan
01:37aimed at laying the foundation for a just and lasting peace.
01:42And I know that President Zelensky just met with President Trump,
01:48and I hope that was a very, very good meeting.
01:52These efforts, as I mentioned, reflect the sustained push,
01:57grounded in shared values and strategic cooperation
02:00to reach a negotiated resolution that respects Ukraine's territorial integrity
02:06and long-term security.
02:08It's in this spirit of cooperation and with the urgency for peace
02:13that we welcome today a leader whose courage and commitment
02:18continues to shape the world, continues to shape the path forward.
02:24I think you see, Mr. President, that we're all ready for your speech
02:29and that you also chose to come here in Davos
02:33during a very difficult time for you and your people.
02:37Welcome, Mr. President.
02:48Thank you very much.
02:49Dear friends, everyone remembers the great American film Groundhog Day
03:03with Bill Murray and Andy McDowell.
03:06Yes, but no one would want to live like that,
03:11repeating the same thing for weeks, months, and of course for years.
03:16And yet, that's exactly how we like, how we live now.
03:23And it's our life.
03:26And every forum like this one proves it.
03:31Just last year, here in Davos, I ended my speech with the words
03:37Europe needs to know how to defend itself.
03:41A year has passed, and nothing has changed.
03:48We are still in a situation where, I must say, the same words, but why?
03:56The answer is not just about the threats that exist or may appear.
04:02Each year brings something new for Europe and for the world.
04:07Everyone turned attention to Greenland.
04:13And it's clear.
04:15Most leaders simply are not sure what to do about it.
04:19And it seems like everyone is just waiting for America to cool down
04:25on this topic, hoping it will pass away.
04:29But what if will not?
04:32What then?
04:35There was so much talk about the protests in Iran,
04:38Iran, but they drowned in blood.
04:43The world has not helped enough the Iranian people and its room.
04:49It has stood aside in Europe with this.
04:53By the time politicians came back to work and started forming a position,
04:59the Ayatollah has already killed thousands.
05:03And what will Iran become after this bloodshed?
05:09If the regime survives, it sends a clear signal to every bully.
05:14Kill enough people and you stay in power.
05:20Who in Europe needs that message to become a reality?
05:25And yet Europe hasn't even tried to build its own response.
05:29Let's look at the Western Hemisphere.
05:33President Trump led an operation in Venezuela and Maduro was arrested.
05:39And there were different opinions about it.
05:42But the fact remains Maduro is on trial in New York.
05:48Sorry, but Putin is not on trial.
05:50And this is the fourth year of the biggest war in Europe since World War II.
05:57And the man who started it is not only free,
06:00he is still fighting for his frozen money in Europe.
06:05And you know what?
06:07He is having some success.
06:09It's true.
06:10It's Putin who is trying to decide how the frozen Russian assets should be used.
06:15Not those who have the power to punish him for this war.
06:20Thankfully, the EU decided to freeze Russian assets indefinitely.
06:25And I'm grateful for that.
06:27Thanks, Ursula.
06:28Thanks, Antonio.
06:29And all the leaders who helped.
06:31But when the time came to use those assets to defend against Russian aggression,
06:37the decision was blocked.
06:39Putin managed to stop Europe, unfortunately.
06:47Next point.
06:49Because of the American position, people are now avoiding the topic of the international criminal court.
06:56And that's understandable.
06:58It's American historical position.
07:00But at the same time, there is still no real progress on establishing a special tribunal for Russian aggression against Ukraine.
07:11Against the Ukrainian people.
07:13And we have an agreement.
07:14It's true.
07:15Many meetings with staff and actual work happening inside.
07:22What's missing?
07:24Time or political will.
07:26Too often in Europe, something else is always more urgent than justice.
07:33Right now, we are working actively with partners on security guarantees.
07:38And I'm grateful for that.
07:40But those are for after the war ends.
07:45Once the ceasefire begins, there will be contingents and joint patrols and partner flags on Ukrainian soil.
07:56And that is a very good step.
07:58And the right signal that UK and France are ready to actually commit their forces on the ground.
08:05And there is already a first agreement on that.
08:08Thank you, Kier, thanks, Emmanuel, and all the leaders in our coalition.
08:13And we are doing everything to make sure that our coalition of the willings truly becomes a coalition of action.
08:21And again, everyone is very positive.
08:24But, always but.
08:26But the backstop of President Trump is needed.
08:29And again, no security guarantees work without the U.S.
08:37But what about the ceasefire itself?
08:40Who can help make it happen?
08:44Europe loves to discuss the future, but avoids taking action today.
08:49Action that defines what kind of future we will have.
08:53That is the problem.
08:56Why can't President Trump stop tankers from the shadow fleet and seize oil, but Europe doesn't?
09:03Russian oil is being transported right along European shores.
09:09That oil funds the war against Ukraine.
09:13That oil helps destabilize Europe.
09:16So, Russian oil must be stopped and confiscated and sold for Europe's benefit.
09:22Why not?
09:24If Putin has no money, there is no war for Europe.
09:30If Europe has money, then it can protect its people.
09:35Right now, those tankers are making money for Putin.
09:38And that means Russia continues to push its SIC agenda.
09:43Next point.
09:44I've said it before, and I'll repeat it again.
09:49Europe needs united armed forces.
09:52Forces that can truly defend Europe.
09:55Today, Europe relies only on the belief that if danger comes, NATO will act.
10:02But no one has really seen the alliance in action.
10:09If Putin decides to take Lithuania or strike Poland, who will respond?
10:16Who will respond?
10:17Right now, NATO exists thanks to believe.
10:21Believe that the United States will act.
10:24That it will not stand aside and will help.
10:28But what if it doesn't?
10:33Believe me, this question is everywhere in the minds of every European leader.
10:41And some try to get closer to acting, investing in weapons production and etc.
10:46Building partnerships, getting public support for higher defense spending.
10:50But let's remember, until America pressured Europe to spend more on defense,
10:57most countries were not even trying to reach 5% of GDP, the minimum needed to ensure security.
11:04Europe needs to know how to defend itself.
11:09And if you send 40 or 40 soldiers to Greenland, what is that for?
11:22What message does it send?
11:27What's the message to Putin, to China?
11:31And even more importantly, what message does it send to Denmark?
11:38The most important, your close ally.
11:43You either declare that European bases will protect the region from Russia and China
11:48and establish those bases or you risk not being taken seriously
11:53because 40 or 40 soldiers will not protect anything.
11:57And we know what to do if Russian warships are sailing freely around Greenland, Ukraine can help.
12:06We have the expertise and weapons to ensure not one of those ships remains.
12:14They can sink near Greenland just as they do near Crimea.
12:18No problem, we have the tools and we have people.
12:23For us, the sea is not the first line of defense.
12:26So we can take actions and we know how to fight there if we were asked and if Ukraine were in NATO.
12:35But we are not.
12:38We will solve this problem with the Russian ships.
12:43As for Iran, everyone is waiting to see what America will do.
12:49And the world offers nothing, Europe offers nothing and does not want to enter this issue
12:55as the support of the Iranian people and the democracy they need.
13:00But when you refuse to help the people fighting for freedom,
13:04the consequences return and they are always negative.
13:09Belarus in 2020 is the example.
13:13No one helped their people.
13:15And now Russian or Russian missiles are deployed in Belarus within range of most European capitals.
13:26That would not have happened if the Belarusian people had won in 2020.
13:33And we have told our European partners multiple times, act now.
13:38Act now against those missiles in Belarus.
13:41Missiles are never just decoration.
13:45But Europe still remains in Greenland mode.
13:50Maybe someday someone will do something.
13:56The issue of Russian oil is the same.
13:59It's good that many sanctions exist.
14:02Russian oil is getting cheaper.
14:04But the flow has not stopped.
14:08And Russian companies that fund Putin's war machine are still working.
14:13And that will not change without more sanctions.
14:18And we are grateful for all the pressure put on the aggressor.
14:23But let's be honest.
14:26Europe must do more so its sanctions block enemies as effectively as American sanctions.
14:31Because if Europe is not seen as global force, if its actions don't scare bad actors, then Europe will always be reacting, catching up with new dangers and attacks.
14:48We all see that the forces trying to destroy Europe do not face a single day.
14:56They operate freely, even operate inside Europe.
15:01Every victor who lives off European money while trying to sell out European interests deserves a smack upside the head.
15:13And if he feels comfortable in Moscow, it doesn't mean we should let European capitals become little Moscow.
15:22We must remember what separates Russia from all of us.
15:27The most fundamental line of conflict between Russia and Ukraine and all of Europe is this.
15:36Russia fights to devalue people to make sure that when dictators want to destroy someone, they can.
15:44But they must lose power, not gain it.
15:50For example, Russian missiles are produced only because there are ways to bypass sanctions.
15:58It's true.
15:59Everyone sees how Russia tries to freeze Ukrainians.
16:03Now, our people, Ukrainians to death at minus 20 degrees Celsius.
16:10But Russia couldn't build any ballistic or cruise missiles without critical components from other countries.
16:19And it's not just China.
16:22Too often people hide behind the excuse that China helps Russia.
16:28Yes, it does.
16:30But not only China.
16:32Russia gets components from companies in Europe, the United States, and Taiwan.
16:43Right now, many are investing in stability around Taiwan to avoid war.
16:48But can Taiwanese companies stop contributing electronics to Russia's war?
16:55Europe says almost nothing.
16:57America says nothing.
16:58And Putin makes missiles.
17:03And I thank every country, of course, and every company that helps Ukraine repair its energy system.
17:09This is crucial.
17:11Thank you to all who support the Pearl Program, helping us buy Patriot missiles.
17:17But wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just cut Russia off from the components it needs for missiles production?
17:27Or even destroy the factories making them?
17:31Last year, most of the time was spent talking about long-range weapons for Ukraine.
17:39And everybody said that the solution was within, within range.
17:47Now, no one is even talking about it.
17:52But Russian missiles and Shahis are still here.
17:56And we still have the coordinates of the factories where there are meat.
18:01Today, they target Ukraine.
18:03Today, tomorrow, it could be any native country.
18:08And here, in Europe, we are advised not to mention tomahawks.
18:15Not to mention tomahawks to the Americans.
18:20Not to spoil the mood.
18:22Anyway, we are told not to bring up Taurus missiles.
18:30When the subject is Turkey, diplomats say, don't offend Greece.
18:36When it's Greece, they say, be careful with Turkey.
18:40In Europe, there are endless internal arguments and things left unsaid that stop Europe from uniting
18:49and speaking honestly enough to find real solutions.
18:53And too often, Europeans turn against each other leaders, parties, movements, and communities
19:00instead of standing together to stop Russia, which brings the same destruction to everyone.
19:07Instead of becoming a truly global power, Europe remains a beautiful but fragmented kaleidoscope of small and middle powers.
19:19Instead of taking the lead in defending freedom worldwide, especially when America's focus shifts elsewhere,
19:27Europe looks lost, trying to convince the U.S. president to change.
19:35But he will not change.
19:38President Trump loves who he is.
19:42And he says he loves Europe, but he will not listen to this kind of Europe.
19:48One of the biggest problems in today's Europe, though it's not often talked about in the mindset.
19:59Some European leaders are from Europe, but not always for Europe.
20:05And Europe still feels more like a geography, history, a tradition, not a real political force, not a great power.
20:13However, some Europeans are really strong, it's true.
20:18But many say we must stand strong, and they always want someone else to tell them how long they need to stand strong.
20:29Preferably until the next election.
20:33But that's not how great power works, to my mind.
20:37Leaders say we must defend European interests, but I hope someone else will do it for them.
20:44And speaking of values, they often mean valuables.
20:48They are all like we need something to replace the old world order with.
20:55But where is the line of leaders who are ready to act?
21:00Act now on land, in the air, at the sea, to build a new global order.
21:06You can't build the new world order out of words.
21:11Only actions create real order.
21:14Today, America has launched the Board of Peace.
21:19Ukraine was invited.
21:20So was Russia, Belarus, though the war hasn't stopped.
21:26And there is not even a ceasefire.
21:30And I've seen who joined.
21:34Everyone had their reasons.
21:37But here is the thing.
21:39Europe hasn't even formed a united position on the American idea.
21:46Maybe tonight, when the European Council meets, they will decide something.
21:52But the documents were already signed this morning.
21:55And tonight, they might also finally decide something on Greenland.
21:59But last night, Mark Ruder had spoken to President Trump.
22:03Thank you, Mark, for your productiveness.
22:06America is already changing its position.
22:08But nobody knows exactly how.
22:12So things move faster than we.
22:15Things move faster than Europe.
22:18And how can Europe keep up?
22:20Dear friends, we should not degrade ourselves to secondary roles.
22:26Not when we have a chance to be a great power together.
22:30We should not accept that Europe is just a salad of small and middle powers seasoned with enemies of Europe.
22:38When united, we are truly invincible.
22:43And Europe can and must be a global force.
22:48Not one that reacts late, but one that defines the future.
22:54That would help everyone from the Middle East to every other region in the world.
22:59That would help Europe itself because the challenges we face now are challenges to the European way of life where people matter, where nations matter.
23:12Europe can help build a better world.
23:16Europe must build a better world.
23:20And a world without war, of course.
23:23But for that, Europe needs strength.
23:28For that, we must act together.
23:31And act in time.
23:32And most of all, we must have the courage to act.
23:35And we are actively working to reach solutions, real solutions.
23:39Today we met with President Trump.
23:42And our teams are working almost every day.
23:45It's not simple.
23:48The documents aimed at ending this war are nearly, nearly ready.
23:54And that really matters.
23:57Ukraine is working with full honesty and determination.
24:00And that brings results.
24:03And Russia must become ready too.
24:06To finish this war.
24:07To stop this aggression.
24:09Russian aggression.
24:10Russian war against us.
24:12So the pressure must be strong enough.
24:15And the support for Ukraine must grow even stronger.
24:18Our previous meetings with President of the United States brought us air defense missiles.
24:25And thanks Europeans.
24:27They have also.
24:28And today we also spoke about protecting the skies, which means protecting lives, of course.
24:35And I hope America will continue to stand with us.
24:39And Europe must be strong.
24:43And Ukraine is ready to help with anything needed to guarantee peace and prevent destruction.
24:51We are ready to help others become stronger than they are now.
24:55And we are ready to be part of a Europe that truly matters.
25:00A Europe of real power.
25:02Great power.
25:05Today we need that power to protect our own independence.
25:09But you need Ukraine's independence too.
25:12Because tomorrow you may have to defend your way of life.
25:18And when Ukraine is with you, no one will wipe their feet on you.
25:24And you will always have a way to act and act in time.
25:30This is very important.
25:31Act in time.
25:33Dear friends, today is one of the last days of Davos.
25:38Though definitely not the last Davos, of course.
25:41And everyone agrees on that.
25:45And many people believe that somehow things will work out on their own.
25:51But we cannot rely on somehow.
25:55For real security, faith is not enough.
26:00Faith in a partner, in a lucky turn of events.
26:05No intellectual discussions are capable of stopping wars.
26:13We need action.
26:15World order comes from action.
26:18And we just need the courage to act.
26:21Without action now, there is no tomorrow.
26:26Let's end this Groundhog Day.
26:31And yes, it's possible.
26:33Slava Ukraine.
27:05The President wanted me to sit, but I think you deserved every part of that standing ovation.
27:24Thank you so much, Mr. President.
27:26It is very good to have you back.
27:31How did your meeting with President Trump go?
27:35Yeah, honestly.
27:39Of course, honestly.
27:41But of course, in the interest of your country.
27:44Yes, it was in the interest of my country.
27:48Yeah, the meeting was...
27:49I would never question that.
27:50No, no, no.
27:52The meeting was good thanks to the President and thank you that he found time for us.
27:59And it's really, you know, today I saw like my team and they spoke with the American team.
28:07And before my meeting with President Trump, my team spent a lot of time with Americans.
28:13And even I wanted to ask President Trump to give them American passports because I think that they, yes, really spent a lot of time.
28:22But be honest.
28:23I think that the meeting is very important.
28:27We need in our boat.
28:32I hope this is the boat, this is ship to peace.
28:36And we need very much to have the United States.
28:40For the future, for security guarantees, we understand that we, Europe has to be more stronger, but Europe will need time.
28:47And today America is very strong and I think that our teams worked well and come, you know, like, like, I think this like last, last mile, which is very difficult, which during, during any dialogue with any president, I have to defend the interests of my country.
29:09That's why the dialogue is, maybe it's not simple, but it was, today it was positive.
29:17That's enough.
29:18I think that's a good answer.
29:24We know that Jared Kushner and also special representative Steve Witkoff is traveling this afternoon to Moscow.
29:39I think that, I think now it all is also about when Russia is ready to stop the war.
29:54And it's hard to really understand what is in the head of Mr. Putin, too.
29:59But what do you think are the current calculations in Moscow?
30:05First of all, yes, American team will go to Moscow today.
30:11Yes, they waited for our meeting with President Trump and now they will go and my team will meet American team.
30:22And I think that it will be the first trilateral meeting in Emirates.
30:29It will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
30:31Yes, it will be two days meetings in Emirates.
30:35I hope that Emirates know about it.
30:38Yes.
30:38Sometimes we have such surprises from the American side.
30:42Yeah.
30:43But in any way they will go there.
30:45And I think this is, I think this is good.
30:48If on the technical level we'll begin this trilateral meeting, I hope that we will find some, I don't know, Russians have to be ready for compromises.
31:00Because, you know, everybody has to be ready, not only Ukraine.
31:06And this is important for us.
31:08So we will see what result will be.
31:11But that Russians will meet, that our guys meet today with Americans.
31:17Then Americans will meet with Russians tomorrow, today is at night.
31:22I don't know when, I don't know.
31:24Maybe Putin is sleeping, you said, that nobody knows what is in his head.
31:30Yes.
31:31But, but.
31:32And they might have to wait a little bit for the meeting.
31:36I don't know.
31:37I don't know.
31:39But, and, and, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we will have trilateral meetings, our guys will have trilateral meetings.
31:44It's better than not to have any kind of dialogue.
31:47So we are under attacks, people live without electricity, and we are in a difficult situation.
31:54But Russians also in a difficult situation.
31:57We are answering on their attacks.
32:00And, God bless, the war will stop.
32:06I hope so.
32:06And, and what, what is now, uh, the most, uh, difficult part, uh, for Ukraine?
32:21Uh, we, we know it's attack on your whole energy, uh, system and electricity, but then there are also the casualties, uh, on the borders.
32:31Um, so, uh, the humanitarian situation is more challenging now than a year ago.
32:41Yes.
32:42With Russia attacks energy, and this is, they are focusing on it.
32:46And this is not a secret.
32:48This is not a mistake.
32:50This is their goal to make blackouts in Ukraine.
32:53And they attack mostly civilians.
32:57They don't use a lot of missiles, these expensive missiles, what about I spoke before, they don't use it on the front.
33:05They use it against civilians, infrastructure, critical infrastructure.
33:11It's about, uh, everything, and hospitals, kindergartens, schools.
33:15But mostly, it's about, uh, all about, uh, all about that technical things, which, uh, destroy, which, uh, which are focusing on destroying electricity, heating systems, water supplies, everything.
33:30Yes.
33:31Uh, this is, this is where we are.
33:33This is the face of Russia, and really, this is the face of this war.
33:38We, uh, have defending systems.
33:40We, uh, really created, I think, great ideas with drones interceptors.
33:47We'll use them.
33:48We really produce them about 1,000 per day.
33:52We really produce about around that.
33:54And, but it's not enough.
33:57It's, it's still not enough.
33:59Russia has, uh, 500, uh, about 500 drones, Iranian drones, uh, each day, and dozens of missiles.
34:10Ballistic missiles.
34:11And even those systems what, uh, partners gave us, of course, they could give us more.
34:17Yes.
34:18And I spoke with President Trump today about it again.
34:22And, uh, I hope it was the last words, my last words.
34:28You know, like in Ukraine said, the, everybody remember all, only the last words.
34:33So, my last words been several times to President Trump, don't forget about air defense, don't
34:40forget about patriots.
34:43And so, this is very important for us during, during this winter.
34:47So, uh, I think that, uh, this is, uh, all these attacks, uh, I can't say that they, these
34:55attacks make us stronger because it's about our people.
34:58The people, I mean, this, they are surviving.
35:02They are surviving in any case.
35:04But they are heroic people, civilians and soldiers, because, uh, they are not losers of this war.
35:12And this is important.
35:13They fight for their families, houses, and, of course, for the freedom.
35:19And, of course.
35:19Would you be willing to say something on, uh, about the situation on the borders?
35:27You mean, I mean, contact line?
35:29Yeah, contact line.
35:30It's Russia wants to have a border there, but it's contact line.
35:34I'm glad you corrected me, Mr. President.
35:37No, it's okay.
35:39It's not the first time for me.
35:40It's not okay, but, you know, coming back to the borderline.
35:44Uh, so, would you, would you like to say something about that?
35:47Yes, yes.
35:48Contact line.
35:50Look, what, what we, I mean this again, it's about technologies, and I wanted to show you,
35:55but I had some technical questions, uh, and, uh, but I wanted to show you how we work.
36:00We see online the war.
36:02We see the real enemies.
36:04We see our losses and Russian losses.
36:07Russian losses are the biggest what they had ever.
36:12So, I'm just sharing with you, uh, the real statistic is 35,000 killed per month.
36:1835,000 soldiers.
36:21Last year, this month, it was about 14,000.
36:26So, Russia is not thinking about it.
36:29But we think about it.
36:32We think how they lose, and how many soldiers they lose.
36:35We know that they mobilize 40,000, 43,000 per month, and they begin to lose 35,000.
36:43From these 43, you have to know that about 10, 15% are run away, and there are some wounded.
36:51But you can understand that their army stopped increasing.
36:57This is important.
36:58Because of our drones technologies and our operators of drones.
37:04And, but in any way, we want to stop tomorrow this war, of course.
37:09But you have to know that if the war will continue, Russia will begin, start, begin to lose the number of their army.
37:19Or Putin will decide to mobilize this country, his country, I mean.
37:26Maybe last question, because I know you also need to go back to Kyiv.
37:35It was not interesting with me, yes.
37:37Your people is behind you, and showing my watch all the time.
37:42I would love to continue for another 15 minutes, Mr. President.
37:47But not more.
37:4915 is okay?
37:50No, no, no, no.
37:51Okay, okay.
37:52The last question.
37:54So, my last question, Mr. President.
37:57How can the people here at the World Economic Forum and in Davos support the most?
38:04I think you heard the applause.
38:06I think everyone wants to also show solidarity with you and the country.
38:14To defend our land, it's, I mean, this is a very expensive task.
38:20So, if during Economic Forum we can find as more businesses as possible, which can open offices in Ukraine,
38:31it means that you really trust and you believe that peace will come, and that you really, yes, a little bit risk now.
38:42A little bit.
38:45We decided at the beginning to be honest today.
38:49A little bit.
38:50But we need your offices and companies.
38:52It means that you believe and you trust in Ukraine, in our independent life after the war.
39:00This is the biggest chance what you can do, to invest now, to give jobs for our people.
39:07And I think this is the most important, this is real support, not words, real support.
39:17Jobs, money, investment, come often to Ukraine.
39:26Applause
