Tue Jan 21 15:04:39 UTC 2025: ## Zelenskyy Casts Doubt on Trump’s Commitment to European Security
**KYIV, UKRAINE** – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has raised concerns about former US President Donald Trump’s commitment to European security, emphasizing the continent’s need for greater self-reliance. In a statement [add source if available, e.g., during a press conference, interview], Zelenskyy highlighted the geographical proximity of Russia to Europe, stating, “There is no ocean separating European countries from Russia.” This underscores the perceived vulnerability of European nations to Russian aggression and implicitly criticizes any perceived lack of robust US support under Trump’s leadership. Zelenskyy’s remarks suggest a need for a strengthened European security framework, independent of – or at least less reliant on – American intervention. The statement comes amidst ongoing tensions between Russia and the West, prompting renewed discussion about the future of transatlantic security cooperation.
