Zelenskyy heads to Davos to regain the spotlight for Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in his stated quest to preserve his country, was once the darling of the global elite. Now he’s trying to avoid being just another bystander at their party.

The Israel-Hamas war and U.S. presidential campaign are consuming most of the attention in the lead-up to the annual World Economic Forum here in the Swiss mountains. Russia’s war on Ukraine — so recently the crisis driving global conversations — isn’t grabbing as many headlines, and Western financial and military aid for Kyiv is increasingly uncertain as the war sputters into its third year.
