Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday canceled his planned appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and stayed in Kyiv as Russian strikes crippled the country’s energy grid — leaving tens of thousands without heat in the dead of winter.
“Undoubtedly, I choose Ukraine in this case, rather than the economic forum,” Zelensky said, explaining his decision to remain in the war-scarred capital.
The choice came amid “large-scale brownouts” in Kyiv and other cities, the Ukrainian president said, following a fresh Russian attack on critical infrastructure.
“In the capital alone, more than 5,600 apartment buildings are without heat following the Russian strike,” Zelensky tweeted Tuesday.
President Trump and European leaders are heading to the Swiss Alps, where Trump was planning to host an event for his newly announced Gaza Board of Peace.
He invited Zelensky’s enemy Russian President Vladimir Putin to sit on the board.
Zelensky underscored that Davos meetings would only be worthwhile if they delivered real, concrete results, particularly on security guarantees and economic aid.
“Meetings with America should always end with concrete results to strengthen Ukraine or to move closer to ending the war,” he said.
Zelensky urgently called for air defense systems to protect civilians and infrastructure, noting that a recent shipment of US-made air defense weapons helped prevent the attack from being much worse.

1. Has Zelenskyy ever attended?
2. Was he even invited?
“Meetings with America should always end with concrete results to strengthen Ukraine or to move closer to ending the war,” he said. What does the US get?
Probably a couple of close calls lately prompting Zelensky to not press his luck.
Ukraine got hit, and whose fault is that?
Zelenski has repeatedly refused any peace offers, so that’s what you get.
Who?
Europe can ask China to foot the bill for the Ukraine war
It’s called: reading the room.
Temper Tantrum? 😜
We need that picture of the baby LOL
Mmmmm…cockroach cacciatore. 😋
Chased down with a nice cold glass of beetle juice.
I’m betting the EU told him to stand down.
Wise.
Disrespectful little snot still refuses to wear a suit and tie.
He realized the Forum wasn’t going to be about YouCraynee.
So, he wasn’t going to be able to grift more money.
