Ukrainian president sees security as biggest threat to cohesive and sustainable world

He stated this in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, January 22, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"What is the biggest threat to a cohesive and sustainable world today? This is a matter of security - both of individuals and of entire countries and nations," Zelensky said.

He noted that the modern world is changing at a "reactive speed" that has moved humanity into a new era, an era of "new normality."

According to him, what seemed like a fantasy yesterday has become a reality today.

Trade wars, redistribution of territories, rapid growth of military budgets, separatist movements, withdrawal of countries from previous international agreements undermine humanity's belief and make one think whether this world is falling into the abyss, Zelensky said.

He stressed that cataclysms had become mundane for the planet and shocks had become a habit for humanity. And there is a risk that future generations, suffering from climate change, permanent conflicts, poverty, limited access to food, will blame every world leader for having a chance to reach an agreement and not using it, Zelensky said.

The annual meeting of the World Economic Forum is taking place in Davos, Switzerland, on January 21-24.
