World Economic Forum freezes 'all relations' with Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his oligarch associates are personae non gratae as far as the controversial World Economic Forum is concerned, due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The forum, which hosts its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, announced this week that Russia and Russian officials will no longer be tied to the group because of the war. The news comes as a litany of other organizations and businesses also severed ties with Russia.
