[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The World Economic Forum (WEF) usually gathers global political, business and academia dignitaries. The sanctioned Russian tycoons and dignitaries were unable to participate because they were "deleted from friends".

Foreign media reported that the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) started in Davos, Switzerland on Monday, and is expected to be held until the 20th, during which more than 400 forums will be held, including the Ukraine war, the climate crisis and Global trade tensions and other issues are important topics of this forum. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will also be interviewed remotely via remote connection on Wednesday.

WEF Chairman Borge Brende said that the 53rd Forum will be held against the most complex geopolitical and geoeconomic background in decades.

On the other hand, Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as some Russian tycoons and dignitaries who would show up in the past, are nowhere to be seen. Because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, these people have been "deleted friends."

The Putin page that was originally on the official website of the forum has been deleted. In May last year, the forum also turned the Russian pavilion into a Russian war crimes pavilion, displaying graphic records of the Russia-Ukraine war.
