Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be attending the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.

WEF President Borge Brende announced on Tuesday that the Ukrainian leader would be at the annual summit in person.

Zelenskyy, who has made speeches to the WEF via videolink in the past, will deliver a "special address" and meet CEOs, said Brende.

The publication said that according to information it had, Bern was preparing for a visit by Zelenskyy who would then go on to Davos.

"It is taking place against the most complicated geopolitical and geoeconomic backdrop in decades," Brende told a virtual press conference.

The annual summit will take place from January 15-19.

In 2023, Zelenskyy called for a faster response from the rest of the world amid Russia’s invasion, in a video address.
