Europe and Ukraine
By openly validating several of Trump’s core criticisms of Europe, Zelensky’s Davos speech both flatters Trump and underscores Europe’s strategic hesitancy,” said Natia Seskuria, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based think tank. “This rhetoric is not, on its own, likely to rupture Ukraine’s relationship with its European partners given the depth of relationship. Yet it is undeniably a daring move as Europe has been Ukraine’s most consistent and reliable ally.”
