EThe Davos forum observes a minute’s silence for the victims of the helicopter crash in which the Ukrainian Interior Minister died Denys Monastyrsky and thirteen other people.
It was a request from the Ukrainian president, Volodímir Zelenskiwhich has once again urged the world to speed up decisions to help Ukraine cope with Russian aggression: “The mobilization of the world must anticipate the upcoming military mobilization of our common enemy. The supply of anti-aircraft defense systems Ukraine must overcome upcoming Russian missile attacks Supply of Western tanks must preempt another invasion of Russian tanks Restoring security and peace in Ukraine is a guarantee that there will be no Russian attacks on security and the peace of other countries”.
Far from Davos, in Saint Petersburg, the Russian president visited an arms factory. Russian television has broadcast the images that you can see in this video where Vladimir Putin he addresses the workers to praise them and guarantee them victory over Ukraine: “All this creates a basis for our effective development, and for victory. Victory is guaranteed, I have no doubt. Our production of anti-aircraft defense missiles is comparable to world production. Therefore, we have what to count on and all this can only give us confidence that victory will be ours.”
Putin has relaunched an internal campaign to avoid fissures in public opinion for the duration of the invasion. This Wednesday the Russian president has insisted that his objective in Ukraine is to put an end to the war in eastern Donbas that began in 2014.
