Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered one of the sharpest interventions at Davos, openly questioning Europe’s approach to Arctic security. Reacting to proposals involving limited troop deployments in Greenland, Zelensky warned that symbolic military gestures would not deter Russia or alter the strategic balance. He argued that meaningful deterrence requires real capability, coordination, and sustained commitment, highlighting Europe’s continued reliance on NATO and U.S. leadership.
