Zelenskyy in Davos

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was huddling with corporate executives and world leaders Tuesday during a frenzied first full day of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

The WEF involves prominent political, business and cultural leaders coming together annually to discuss global challenges. Top officials from the United States, European Union, China, the Middle East and beyond spoke Tuesday about tackling conflict and embracing technology like artificial intelligence.

Zelenskyy is endeavoring to keep his country's long and largely stalemated defense against Russia on the minds of political leaders, just as Israel's war with Hamas, which passed the 100-day mark this week, has siphoned off much of the world's attention and sparked concerns about a wider conflict in the Middle East.
