What are you talking about? Putin and other Russian officials have participated in the WEF meetings in Davos for years. He was only banned from attending after his latest invasion of Ukraine.
And let there be no misunderstanding about who started the war. The Russo-Ukraininan War did not begin last February. It began in 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea and used proxy forces to seize the Donbas. Also, Putin’s February offensive was not initiated by the WEF but by Putin himself.
I’m aware of Schwab claiming that Putin was one of his students. I saw the video of Schwab making the claim.
In light of the war, I think it is more accurate that Putin attended WEF to see how he might bend the organization to his will. He wasn’t a student, but feined being one.
