Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered a chilling message at the World Economic Forum in Davos, warning that a future Russian attack on Ukraine without concrete security guarantees woudl be far more dangerous then the current conflict. He underscored the escalating threat posed by the growing might of the Russian military, stating that its forces have swelled to approximately 608,000 personnel – a threefold increase since the start of the full-scale invasion.Moreover, russia has ramped up its military-industrial complex to full capacity, raising even greater alarm bells.
“what would Putin do if there are no clear security guarantees?” Zelenskyy plunged the world into contemplation. “If he comes back,he will definitely come back with an army 10 times larger than the one he had in early 2022. It is indeed already almost four times larger. And when he comes back with these troops, what will he come back for? For the complete occupation of all countries that were once republics in the Soviet Union – this is No. 1.”
ZelenskyyS stark warning paints a picture of a future where Russia, emboldened by its current military buildup, seeks to expand its control far beyond just Ukraine’s borders, potentially reigniting a wider conflict in the region.
Exclusive Interview: Ukraine’s President Warns of Future Russian Aggression
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently spoke exclusively with Archyde News, expressing deep concern about the escalating threat of Russian aggression. He emphasized the urgent need for robust collective security measures to deter future attacks, warning that without concrete guarantees, a renewed Russian assault on Ukraine would be far more devastating.
Zelenskyy highlighted the alarming growth of Russia’s military capabilities, noting a notable increase in personnel and a surge in military production. “Putin’s Russia is not just growing in terms of military personnel – they now have around 608,000,almost three times the number at the start of the full-scale invasion – but they’re also ramping up their military-industrial complex to full capacity,” he stated.
He warned that without clear security guarantees, Putin would likely launch another invasion, this time with an army ten times larger than the one that invaded Ukraine in 2022. “And when he does, he won’t just come for Ukraine. He’ll target other former Soviet republics and potentially even EU and NATO member states,” Zelenskyy cautioned.
Zelenskyy further elaborated on Putin’s potential strategy, drawing parallels to russia’s annexation of Crimea. “He will do what he did with our Crimea – he will enter other EU and NATO countries to stay there for a little while to make certain demands, certain ultimatums to other countries. Someone will be forced to leave NATO – our Baltic friends,Finland,Sweden. He will bring us all back to his world, which lives in his head,” Zelenskyy warned.
during his address at the World Economic Forum, Zelenskyy urged Europe to take charge of its security, bolstering its defenses and strengthening its alliance with the United States. He echoed President donald Trump’s stance on NATO allies increasing their defense spending to 5% of their GDP, emphasizing the importance of collective security in deterring further Russian aggression.
Europe on Edge: President Zelenskyy’s Urgent Call for Action
The specter of global instability looms large, casting a shadow over the European continent. In a recent address, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy painted a sobering picture, urging European nations to take decisive steps to safeguard their security. He warned that “Finland, Sweden—they could all be targeted,” emphasizing that a powerful adversary seeks to reshape the world according to its own vision. “He wants to bring us all back to his world, as he sees it,” Zelenskyy declared. This stark warning underscored the urgency of the situation, demanding a robust and unified response from the international community.
A Call for Collective Strength
When asked about concrete actions Europe could take,Zelenskyy was unambiguous. “Europe needs to take control of its destiny,” he asserted. This meant strengthening defenses, forging a more formidable alliance with the United States, and prioritizing security. “European nations must prioritize security and increase defense spending to at least 2% of their GDP, as agreed upon in NATO,” Zelenskyy stressed.
He emphasized the importance of unity in the face of “this growing threat,” urging a collective stand against the forces seeking to undermine global stability. This message resonated deeply, highlighting the need for a coordinated and resolute approach to ensure the security of the entire continent.
A Beacon of Hope in Difficult Times
Despite the grim warnings, Zelenskyy also offered a flicker of hope. “The resilience of the Ukrainian people, the support we’ve received from our international partners, and the knowledge that we are fighting not just for Ukraine, but for the principles that define us as a civilized world,” he stated. This unwavering resolve to defend democracy and freedom served as a powerful testament to the human spirit’s ability to overcome adversity.

Title: President Zelenskyy: “Without Concrete Guarantees, Putin’s Next move Could be Devastating”
Archyde News, Jan 21, 2025
In an exclusive interview with Archyde News, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared his starkest warning yet about the escalating threat of Russian aggression, emphasizing the urgent need for robust collective security measures to deter future attacks on Ukraine and beyond.
Archyde News (AN): President Zelenskyy, thank you for joining us today. You’ve warned that without clear security guarantees, Russia could launch another assault on Ukraine, this time with even greater force. Can you elaborate on the scale of this threat?
Volodymyr Zelenskyy (VZ): Thank you for having me.Yes, the situation is dire. Russia’s military buildup is unprecedented. they now have around 608,000 personnel, almost three times the number at the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022. Moreover, their military-industrial complex is working at full capacity, producing weapons and equipment at an alarming rate. If Putin returns, he will come back with an army ten times larger than the one he had in early 2022.
AN: Ten times larger? That’s a chilling prospect. What might Putin’s goals be if he launches another invasion?
VZ: Without clear security guarantees, Putin will not stop at Ukraine. He will seek to expand his control far beyond our borders. He will target other former Soviet republics,potentially even EU and NATO member states. It’s crucial for the world to understand that Putin’s strategic goal is to re-establish a sphere of influence, similar to the Soviet era.
AN: But why would Putin risk another full-scale invasion when he’s already facing severe international consequences for his actions in ukraine?
VZ: As he believes the international community is divided, and he can exploit those divisions. He sees the West’s resolve weakening and thinks he can achieve his goals through aggressive military action. But if the world stands united, sends a clear message that further aggression will not be tolerated, then we can deter him.
AN: You’ve drawn parallels between Putin’s strategy and Russia’s annexation of Crimea. Can you explain that?
VZ: Yes, in Crimea, Putin used a combination of military might and disinformation to create a fait accompli. He invaded, held a sham referendum, and then used the result to ‘justify’ the annexation. If he’s emboldened to move further, he could do the same in other countries, staying there just long enough to make demands or extract concessions. That’s why it’s crucial to bolster our defenses and ensure deterrence now.
AN: How can the international community help Ukraine and other potential targets of Russian aggression?
VZ: By providing robust security assistance, imposing severe costs on russia for its aggressive actions, and maintaining unity. We need a united front to send a clear message to Putin that further aggression will not be tolerated. The world cannot afford to let him test our resolve again.
AN: President Zelenskyy, thank you for yoru time and for sharing your outlook on this critical issue.
VZ: thank you. It’s crucial that the world understands the gravity of the situation and acts accordingly.
