Zelensky Tells Europe To Stop Sending Greenland Postcards, Get Real
KEY POINTS
- •Zelensky started his Davos speech on January 22, 2026, chastising Europe for risk aversion toward Russia.
- •He urged European leaders to seize Russian tankers and frozen assets just like Trump’s Venezuela moves.
- •Trump's envoys Witkoff and Kushner headed to Moscow for meetings before trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi.
In Davos, January 2026, Ukrainian Prez Volodymyr Zelensky channeled his inner Bill Murray from 'Groundhog Day,' reminding Europe it’s been a year since he begged them to stop playing action-pretend against Russia, but, shocker, nothing changed. After an hour with President Trump (who was reportedly 'in a good mood'—Davos social life wins), Zelensky roasted European leaders for their love affair with sending tiny troop numbers to Greenland, questioning if tank-seizing Russian assets like Trump did in Venezuela could sow actual dread. Meanwhile, Trump’s envoy squad—Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner—prepped to schmooze Putin amid Russia’s wintry meltdown of Ukrainian infrastructure. Talks were planned in Abu Dhabi with a diplomatic lineup including enum officials and Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev. Zelensky warned Europe that relying on 'somehow' and intellectual pow-wows won’t stop wars, it’s courage or curse. Standing ovations followed like the ultimate Davos flex.
