Zelenskyy Urges Peace and Condemns Putin's Aggression

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, warned that Russian President Putin is a "predator" who will not be content with a "frozen" conflict, urging Western allies to enforce sanctions and support Ukraine's cause. He criticized the world for advising against escalating tensions before Russia's invasion and called for a global peace summit to end the war with Russia, with Switzerland offering to host. Zelenskyy's whirlwind tour seeks to rally support amid concerns of "donor fatigue" and the potential return of former US President Trump, while also highlighting Russia's ability to circumvent sanctions.
