Time crisis: While the free world spends time to reflect, Russia spends it on murder

Another one should be added to the global safety, ecology, food and energy crises. This is a time crisis President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky had an online expection at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos. His speech was short and laconic this time. Here is what he told the forum participants and guests. A tragedy occurred in the suburbs of Kiev this morning.

As a result of the Trosh, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, his colleagues and a helicopter crew, which fell on a kindergarten, were killed. 14 Ukrainian families have lost their relatives today. And many more families lose their relatives daily through the war. I ask you to honor the memory of everyone lost by Ukraine with a moment of silence. Only a minute. And in it - the memory of so many people. Ukraine is going through thousands of such minutes.

Among them is three minutes on January 14. Three minutes - the time for which the Russian rocket overcame hundreds of kilometers, hit the dwelling house in the Dnieper and killed at least 45 people. My performance will be short. About the time, which is not enough. About minutes. About the years that consist of these minutes. Three years ago, I first performed in Davos. Live. The theme was: building a sustainable and united world. I am going online now.

Topic: Collaboration in a divided and fragmented world. Conclusions? Obvious. The world does not have time to respond to changes and challenges. Another one should be added to the global safety, ecology, food and energy crises. It's a time crisis. Another one should add to the calls for decisive, effective and joint action. This is a call to speed. Decision speed. Reactions of a civilized world. Tragedies are ahead of life. Tyrania is ahead of democracy. It took less than one second to start the war.

To implement the first sanctions for this, the world took days. The time that the free world spends on reflection is spent by the terrorist state. Ukraine, together with the allies, counteracts for almost a year. This time proved: all our quick solutions gave a positive result: the discovery of the borders for Europe, the grain agreement, energy unity. All this saved millions of people. Not only in Ukraine. Not only Ukraine, but all over the world requires such a rate of decision -making and action.

The world was hesitant in 2014, when Russia occupied Crimea without hesitation. The world was hesitant in 2022, when Russia made a full-scale war without hesitation. The world should not hesitate today and never again. When evil seeks revenge, the world requires determination and speed. Russia exports terror. Russia will spread the world of war. Ukraine offers the world the formula of peace. Please. Ten steps that the world should take than the Russian Federation will take new steps.

The mobilization of the world should be ahead of the next mobilization of our common enemy. The provision of air defense to Ukraine should ahead of new missile attacks of Russia. The supply of western tanks should be ahead of the invasion of the next Russian tanks. The restoration of security and peace in Ukraine should outstand Russia's attack on the security and peace of other countries. The tribunal for the crimes committed should be prevented by new ones.

NATO and EU enlargement should be ahead of Russian aggression. We now protect the values ​​daily that some allies perceive as a given. It is the fact that the world needs decisive and quick steps. Three years ago, I first participated in the World Economic Forum. Then the world fought against Covid-19. He fought and won. Now the world is fighting against Russian President Vladimir Putin. And in three years in Davos we will talk about new challenges and threats.

What will it mean? That we will definitely defeat the current threat. The story is repeated. Initially, the world does not notice or underestimate the threat. Then she rally and counteracts her. And then the world wins. At all times, the finals are always alone. The world has won Nazism, apartheid, pandemics, indifference to climatic changes, financial crises and Kremlin strain. The world will win again. Here is what you can say in a few minutes. Here's what you can realize in a few minutes.
