  • He used the analogy of the film "Groundhog Day" to describe Ukraine's frustration with recurring delays and unfulfilled promises from European partners.
  • Zelenskyy highlighted Europe's failure to act with urgency, contrasting it with Washington's more decisive actions in other regions.
  • He questioned Europe's political will and time management regarding key initiatives like prosecuting war crimes and establishing long-term security.
