"In Davos, I will hold important bilateral meetings with EU and NATO representatives to advance our Euro-Atlantic integration, as well as with other leaders and CEOs, to strengthen Ukraine’s defence and economic resilience," the president wrote.

Earlier, the Office of the President reported that during his visit to Switzerland, Zelenskyy will meet with the chairs of both chambers of parliament, party leaders and Switzerland's president.
