Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blasted his European allies Thursday for what he portrayed as the continent’s slow, fragmented and inadequate response to Russia’s invasion nearly four years ago and its continued international aggression.

Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Zelenskyy listed a litany of grievances and criticisms of Europe that he said have left Ukraine at the mercy of Russian President Vladimir Putin amid an ongoing U.S. push for a peace settlement.

    Have you heard about a guy named Napoleon and also Hitler? History can be interesting. You don’t just “get rid of Russia” and also that statement is a little ambiguous. Are you talking government overthrow? Mass genocide? The former takes time and latter is not an option in our global world.

      You clearly haven’t watched nearly enough Kings and Generals, listened to Behind the Bastards, nor read The Cartoon History of the Universe. Leaders and nations change all the time, be it by death, conquest, reform, or revolution. It happens a ton, we just occupy a slim frame of observable time within our lifespans.

      Historians would someday be writing about all sorts of details that aren’t visible to us right now.
