Putin disinvited from WEF, Selenski invited instead
Ukrainian President Volodimir Selenski has been invited to the WEF by those responsible. WEF spokesman Samuel Müller confirmed this. In principle, the World Economic Forum is politically neutral. Now, however, it has decided to invite Russian President Vladimir Putin out.
Founder Klaus Schwab writes to the WEF community: "We condemn Russia's aggression against Ukraine, the attacks and the atrocities in the strongest possible terms. Our solidarity is with the Ukrainian people and all those who are innocently suffering in this completely unacceptable war."
