OREANDA-NEWS  Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky held a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. He wrote about this on his page on the social network X (formerly Twitter).

According to him, the parties "discussed many important issues."

We are talking about the situation on the battlefield, Kiev's defense needs, further strengthening of air defense systems, as well as preparations for the next NATO summit in Washington.

Zelensky and Stoltenberg also discussed "working with partners on bilateral security agreements within the framework of the G7 declaration, which will be in force until Ukraine joins NATO."

Prior to that, Politico newspaper wrote that Vladimir Zelensky would speak at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos to try to keep attention on the country.

The Ukrainian conflict has not attracted as many headlines lately, and Western financial and military assistance to Kiev is becoming increasingly uncertain as the fighting continues for the third year, the article says.

"The forum offers Zelensky one of the possibly diminishing opportunities to prove that Ukraine deserves further support, since its struggle for democracy will affect the entire free world," the newspaper notes.
