Davos, Switzerland hosts the annual World Forum. For the first time, its participant is a former comedian, and now President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky.
On Wednesday evening, January 22, Zelensky spoke to the audience. More precisely - almost in front of an empty room. At a speech by the President of Ukraine, the audience was only a few people. At that time, for example, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, who spoke to Zelensky, gathered a full house.
World leaders seem to have realized that Zelensky is an empty suit as a politician and an extremely hollow person.
In Zelenskys speech in Davos itself, there were many absurd things. In particular, for some reason he asked the EU to take Ukraine to itself instead of Britain leaving the EU.

Fiasko should be fiasco.
[The article misquotes him in his remarks about his family. That doesnt speak well of the writer.]
That’s a simplistic take but Okay. There aren’t that many Jewish people left in Ukraine at all. Most are living in Israel, Russia and US now.
Is because he isnt hostile to Trump
Totally agree

What’s impressive is that there are still more Jews in Ukraine than in Russia, despite its straitened prospects. And a Jew is the President of Ukraine. That’s like an Untouchable becoming the Prime Minister of India, or a Jew becoming the President of Russia - something that is unlikely to happen, ever.
Untouchables aren’t doing that bad in India.
There is nothing new about the Ukraine wanting to join the EU. Besides trade they view it as a measure of protection against further Russian aggression.
Probably so but that won’t happening in near 50 years. And how it would turn out then is a mystery in itself.
Maybe it will, maybe it wont; well just have to wait and see, but Im with Ukraine on this one.
Ive lived longer than 50 years, was involved and paid attention, but I still have trouble getting my mind around how much the world has changed in the 50 years that have brought us to our now ... or in the 50 years prior to them.
I have hope now and for the future and have faith that the story were in has a happy ending.
Zelensky is Jewish.
