Ukraine's Zelenskiy tells Davos that world faces a turning point
STORY: ""History is at a turning point... This is really the moment when it is decided whether brute force will rule the world," he said.
His speech kicked off in earnest the four-day World Economic Forum that gathers some 2,000 business and economic leaders as well as experts, with Ukraine topping the agenda.
Zelenskiy pressed business and political leaders to act immediately to supply his country with weapons and financing, and to cut Russia off from global trade.
"Act straight away and in the strongest fashion to defend freedom and the normal order, order that is beneficial for everyone in the world," he said.
In stark contrast to the past, Russian state institutions and private companies which threw some of the most glitzy parties with black caviar, vintage champagne and foie gras, have not been invited to the Alpine resort this year.
