Zelensky calls for speed from allies in helping Ukraine • FRANCE 24 English

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged his Western allies to take quicker decisions to help his war-struck country on Wednesday, warning that "tyranny is outpacing democracies". In an address to the World Economic Forum in Davos by videolink, the Ukrainian leader issued a "call for speed" in a barely veiled reference to hesitations in Germany about whether to supply heavy Leopard tanks to the country. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Commentator Douglas Herbert tells us more.

He’s right
Coming to a critical time
Ukraine needs strength to push Russia out before Russia gets its act together

Fun fact: Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan were investigated under the suspicion of assassinating enemy troops because they were shot in the head. Turns out that the enemy broke cover to take a peek and got domed.

Video after video on social media of Ukraine forces "spraying and praying" with no visible target in sight.

I am an Army Vet and understand suppressive fire. What I saw was a waste of ammo.

[freeman]

More money more weapons, this is zelensky daily activity

[jptrainor]

Speed? I thought his preference was coke.

[TheCoolhead]

Zelenskys mouth moves every time you give him a scheckle.

[cristianheredia]

Wait, isn't that guy the president of the country with the most politicians involved in the Pandora Papers scandal? Anyway...

[Robespierre-lI]

I don't entirely understand why Zelensky constantly needs to go to the press to ask for weaponry. It makes it seem like he's not getting what he needs. Doesn't he have a direct line to his allies?

[SamA-kbug]

We are already in a recession in the US and its going to get worse. Use the money HERE.

[leifandersen]

It doesn’t help anyway because Ukraine can only prolong the war not winning it.The West is running out of weapons to send to Ukraine .He will get old and poor maintained equipment which has been done before. The Tanks cannot be sent anywhere until they are repaired or refurbished as said and it will take time .Leopard 2 are old tanks which some of them are in
museums.Germany will not deliver them before other countries deliver some equipment,
too .

[TheMightyKingzuru]

One of the things that is a huge hindrance to peace is the supply of free weapons and free money to Mr Zee.

[Sciencedroppa]

Because Ukraine is not the Center of the World little Diva elensky needs to find his place ungrateful 🤬🤬

[psnaris]

I thought cocaine was his drug of choice.

* KINDGARDEN'S ATTACK _ " unacceptable War's Behaviour from The Russia Government indeed.

Blessings, peace and luck from California to Ukraine 🙏✌🍀💛💙

What Germany could do with the Leopard 2s is to agree with other NATO countries supplying more Leo 2A4 models and supplying donors with the later 2A5-7 models. That way the worry about technology being captured won't be a problem. Either way, Ukraine does need Leopard 2 and Germany has those, expertise and parts in abundance.

I think we should help him because this war against Russia is a war what none wanted even Szelenski .
I think we should give him the whole support to win, not to survive, to win !!!
This guy is trying his best to defend Europe and because of him we are not under Russian laws and bullying...
We have to respond strongly with full support and to discharge all terrorists lands to try again such an animal behavior....
We love freedom and in the name of freedom we should know what's the meaning for.
I feel him a bit mad but we should support him for his freedom and his people who was fighting heroically from the beginning.
I salute all the Ukrainian Fighters and Mr. President himself to go forward and talk about this support.
God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 ✊️🫡

He’s beginning to look more like a debt collector. We don’t owe him anything.

[w.terrace]

Besides tanks, NATO should also send a few hundred troops as advisors in Ukraine. Like tanks, it's just symbolic.

[mujinaumemiya]

"The world will overcome Russia's aggression, just like they did COVID19" - "Life with COVID" indicates that human surrender to the disease; his statement "overcome" is misunderstanding. Head of a nation would have good sense to read tide.

Ya know Aircraft are not magic carpets jfyi.
