Zelensky warns of catastrophe. While Chancellor Scholz strives for confidence, President Zelenskyj outlines a bleak outlook for the future.
“2024 expects a reaction from all of us,” Zelenskiy said. Ukraine has now stood against the Russian threat for 724 days. The longer it lasts, the greater the risk of expansion and further damage to the international order, Zelenssky said. ‘If we don’t act now, Putin will succeed in turning the next few years into a catastrophe,’ he said.
