Davos cold shoulders Russians over Ukraine war invasion

Zurich (AFP) – The World Economic Forum said Wednesday it was freezing all relations with Russian entities, and would not allow anyone on the sanctions list to take part in the annual high-powered meeting in Davos.

"Following its condemnation of Russia's ongoing attack on Ukraine, the forum is complying with the evolving international sanctions and following the rapidly-developing situation," the WEF said.

“Therefore the forum freezes all its relations with Russian entities, and will not engage with any sanctioned individual or institution in any of our activities, inclusive the annual meeting" in Davos, it added.

The WEF usually hosts its annual gathering of the global political and business elite in the luxury Swiss resort of Davos in January, but the meeting has been postponed until May 22-26 this year due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.

Top Russian politicians, businessmen and oligarchs are commonly seen at the plush event.

But now, "the champagne and caviar days in Davos are over. Or at least the caviar," as Politico put it.

Among those who have been slapped with Western sanctions over the invasion is President Vladimir Putin himself, who has participated in several Davos meets.

WEF founder Klaus Schwab had said he hoped the event could "contribute with some bridge building".

A target rich environment that begs to be heated up.

Sometimes you can judge people by who their enemies are.

Seems instructive to me and helps clarify my thinking. . . WEF is either giving a head-fake, or they aren't too bright. But they have jumped out there and trumpeted their intentions quite a lot.
