Zelenskyy Appeals for Support, Investment at Davos Amid Ongoing Conflict

Ukrainian President Warns War Could Spread Beyond Ukraine, Criticizes Putin and Highlights Economic Growth Despite Conflict

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used his appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos to appeal for more support in Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia, warning that the war could easily spread beyond Ukraine's borders.
Zelenskyy also sought to attract investment for the rebuilding of Ukraine, meeting with CEOs, financiers, and political leaders, including US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
Zelenskyy criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of stealing years of peace and replacing them with pain and crisis that impact the entire world.
Zelenskyy's appeal for support comes amid signs of war fatigue among Ukraine's allies and a shift in US rhetoric from 'as long as it takes' to 'as long as we can'.
Despite the ongoing conflict, Zelenskyy highlighted that Ukraine's economy is still growing, with inflation at about 6%, and called for more investment in the country's economy.
