During a virtual address at the World Economic Forum, Zelenskyy said that more support — and more preventative measures against Russia — should have been taken years ago to prevent Moscow from inflicting further aggression on Ukraine.

“Russia started its war against Ukraine back in 2014. We are grateful for this support [from the West] but if that happened, back then, immediately — that unity, that pressure on governments and companies — would Russia have started this full-scale war? Would it have brought all these losses upon Ukraine and the world? I’m sure the answer is also no,” he said.

He further urged maximum sanctions on Russia and the exclusion of all Russian institutions from the financial system.
