Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, speaking at the Davos summit, emphasized the country's defense priorities in the face of the ongoing conflict with Russia. Kuleba highlighted the urgent need for the European Union to strengthen its defense industry, warning that the EU could succumb to a potential Russian attack due to its current inadequacies. For 2024, Ukraine has set a goal to gain control over its skies as the Russian full-scale assault enters its third year. Additionally, Kuleba urged that the idea of avoiding escalation should be abandoned. He also stated that Ukraine aims to make Russian frozen assets available for the country, providing three clear reasons for this decision. Kuleba appealed to Western countries, proposing a deal where Ukraine would continue fighting without Western troops on the ground, in exchange for weapons and financial support.
