President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Switzerland with a working visit.
He plans to hold meetings with the country’s leaders, participate in the Davos Forum and negotiations in Bern with the heads of the parliamentary chambers and other representatives.
The president expressed his intention to thank for supporting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and believes that Switzerland’s experience will help bring a just peace closer, taking into account the country’s participation in the “peace formula”.
The topics for discussion at the presidential meetings include the return of abducted children, sanctions, use of frozen Russian assets, humanitarian de-mining, financial support and reconstruction of Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky also plans to hold important bilateral meetings with EU and NATO representatives in Davos to support Euro-Atlantic integration and with state leaders and business circles to strengthen Ukraine’s defense and economic stability.

Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
