Volodymyr Zelensky scraps Davos economic forum headlined by Trump after Russia strikes: ‘I choose Ukraine’


President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday canceled his planned appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and stayed in Kyiv as Russian strikes crippled the country’s energy grid — leaving tens of thousands without heat in the dead of winter.

“Undoubtedly, I choose Ukraine in this case, rather than the economic forum,” Zelensky said, explaining his decision to remain in the war-scarred capital.

The choice came amid “large-scale brownouts” in Kyiv and other cities, the Ukrainian president said, following a fresh Russian attack on critical infrastructure.
