| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] In Davos, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF), officials and businessmen called for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict in Ukraine, The New York Times wrote on January 16. The article says that the topic of the Ukrainian conflict was noticeable at the event, but it did not become dominant. At the same time, entrepreneurs expressed support for Kyiv and concern about the loss of financial assistance to Ukraine. “Officials and businessmen are also publicly and privately insisting on a diplomatic cessation of hostilities,” the authors of the material noted. The WEF annually organizes meetings where current issues of politics, economics and public life are discussed. Russia in 2024 did not receive an invitation to the meeting from the event organizers. As Regnum reported, on January 14, a meeting of countries was held in Davos on the so-called peace formula, which Kiev had previously put forward. 83 delegations took part in the event. Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis said that Russia should be included in the negotiation process for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine, since there is no other alternative. Russian senator Alexei Pushkov noted that with its statements, Switzerland only admitted something that is impossible not to admit. The media in the West presented this statement by Cassis as a sensation, and in Western countries now everyone is surprised by obvious things. According to Pushkov, such a reaction is due to the fact that the West supports an absolutely false perception of the Ukrainian crisis, since the United States and its allies are only imitating the search for a solution. The absence of Russia at the negotiations will only lead to the fact that no results will be achieved, this has now been understood in Switzerland. Ultimately, the leading Western countries will have to admit the obvious, the senator concluded. The so-called “peace formula” of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, is prohibitive requirements for negotiations, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on January 16 at a meeting with the heads of municipalities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. More from regnum.ru Zakharova called the Davos meeting on Ukraine a failure for Kyiv The fourth meeting on Ukraine in the “Copenhagen format” turned out to be a failure for Kiev and “its Western masters,” commented Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. According to her, at the meeting in Davos, Switzerland, the number of countries and organizations represented was said to have increased compared to the previous round in Malta at the end of October 2023 from 66 to 82, but quantity is not a guarantee of quality. “The Davos event was no exception. Its results, apart from the “family” photo of the participants and the agreement on possible new meetings, again turned out to be a failure for Kiev and its Western masters,” Zakharova’s comment was quoted on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry. The Russian diplomat pointed out the traditional refusal of Chinese representatives to participate in the event. It is also difficult to call the full participation of many other countries, since most were present at a reduced level and as observers. More and more countries in the Global South and East are openly saying that without Russia, any discussion of a possible settlement of the Ukrainian conflict makes no sense, Zakharova stated. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry added that Ukraine and the West failed to achieve either the expansion of the anti-Russian camp or the adoption of the final document. Even the communique of the chairmen (Ukraine and Switzerland) contains a note that the document does not reflect the opinions of all participants in the meeting, the Russian diplomat concluded. As Regnum reported, on January 14, a regular meeting was held in Davos, Switzerland, with representatives of a number of states to discuss the “peace formula” of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky. Russia was not invited to participate in the event. Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis said that without the inclusion of the Russian Federation in the discussion, agreements on a peaceful settlement will not be achieved. On January 16, Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with the heads of municipalities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, noted that Zelensky’s so-called “peace formula” is prohibitive requirements for negotiations. He also recalled that the Ukrainian authorities themselves refused to negotiate with Russia. They themselves confirm that if they had agreed to Russia’s conditions, the military conflict would have ended a year and a half ago, Putin said.

The Polish president noted that the emergence of a new NATO state between Russia and Poland would strengthen the security of his country. Polish President Andrzej Duda met with Vladimir Zelensky on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos. PolskieRadio24.pl reported this on Tuesday, January 16. During the meeting, they visited an exhibition dedicated to Russian war crimes. It took place at the Ukrainian House in Davos. Duda assured Zelensky that his country’s policy towards Ukraine “will be stable, it will be a policy of support all the time.” According to the Polish leader, in a few days the new Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, will visit Kyiv. He added that he believes in the ability to pursue good policies towards Ukraine together with the Polish government. Duda also noted that the emergence of a new NATO state between Russia and Poland will strengthen the security of his country. He stressed that Ukraine needs strong support from the West, in particular in terms of weapons. Let us recall that Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that the world should tighten sanctions against Russia and provide Ukraine with long-range missiles.
