Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky will share a special stage with World Economic Forum (WEF) executive chairman and founder Klaus Schwab on Tuesday to make a guest appearance at the annual gathering of the globalist elites.
Their discussion in the front of the invitation-only audience is titled “Achieving Security and Cooperation in a Fragmented World.”
Thousands of special guests are already in the luxurious Swiss ski resort for the four-days of talks, cocktails, canapes and backslapping.

It will be Zelensky’s first visit to Switzerland since Russia’s attack on Ukraine in February 2022.
The Ukraine leader will reportedly also be in Bern to meet some or all of the Swiss Federal Council.

The last time Zelensky visited Switzerland was for WEF in 2020, before the invasion. Since then, he has not returned, contenting himself with an appearance by videoconference.
His latest stopover for the elite WEF conclave comes at the tail end wide ranging tour of Europe seeking funds and support for the ongoing war with Russia, as Breitbart News reported.
Zelensky is working to widen his claim the country lacks for everything needed to prosecute the war.
He said: “Warehouses are empty. And there are many challenges to world defence.”
Seeking to overcome this, Zelensky has been trying to persuade Western defence businesses to set up shop in Ukraine itself, and had some success with this program, as the Ukrainian state defence company signed deals with four Lithuanian defence firms.
