Zelensky Warns Time Is Running Out as Trump Claims National Emergency

Zelensky has stated that Ukraine is interested in “fast track” with regards to joining the EU. He argued that in the future, Russia will try to block this just as Russia tries to block Ukraine’s accession to NATO. He has also explained why he has criticised Europe in Davos and it appears that the reason was the lack of interceptor missiles. According to him, he knew in advance that the Russian attack was coming and that Ukraine won’t be able to stop it. Donald Trump has stated that he has asked Vladimir Putin to not attack Ukraine for a week. Dmitry Peskov has confirmed that President Trump has asked President Putin not to attack Kiev until the 1 February 2026 in order to facilitate negotiations. 0:00 Intro 1:36 Zelensky stresses Ukraine's EU accession 6:33 Why Zelensky criticised Europe in Davos? 8:57 Trump's request to Putin 9:52 Trump declares national emergency 11:32 US sends message to Europe 13:13 Mette Fredriksen
