West lacking 'unity' over Ukraine war, Volodymyr Zelensky says at Davos
The Hindu
Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine was grateful for support from U.S. President Joe Biden but said resolve was lagging closer to home.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday that the West remained divided over the extent of its support for Ukraine in its defence against Russia's months-long invasion.
In his second online video appearance during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Mr. Zelensky repeated that his country needed more weapons to repel the Russian army.
"Unity is about weapons. My question is, is there this unity in practice? I can't see it. Our huge advantage over Russia would be when we are truly united," Mr. Zelensky told a traditional "Ukraine Breakfast" event on the sidelines of the WEF.
Washington and European countries have poured billions of dollars' worth of arms into Ukraine to help the country's outgunned forces beat back the better-armed Russian invaders.
Kyiv has called for greater support, membership in the U.S.-led NATO military alliance, and for a no-fly zone to be imposed over the country.
At the opening of the Davos summit on Monday, Mr. Zelensky called for more weapons and "maximum" sanctions against Russia, including an oil ban and an end to all trade with the country.
